## Overview

VEXIS is a Windows hardware-monitoring and control app. Users navigate its WebView dashboard to inspect live hardware and processes, control fans and RGB, and use recording and maintenance tools; MainForm is the host that connects the UI to runtime services. The README documents broader dashboard and control capabilities than the sampled excerpts demonstrate, so uncertain internal wiring is omitted. External hardware and integrations are shown at the relevant service boundaries.

Main entry points: [`MainForm.cs`](https://github.com/vlottiz/vexis-pc-monitor-and-controll/blob/main/MainForm.cs) (App host), [`nav.js`](https://github.com/vlottiz/vexis-pc-monitor-and-controll/blob/main/nav.js) (Navigation and settings UI), [`storage.html`](https://github.com/vlottiz/vexis-pc-monitor-and-controll/blob/main/storage.html) (Storage page), [`SensorService.cs`](https://github.com/vlottiz/vexis-pc-monitor-and-controll/blob/main/SensorService.cs) (Hardware readings)
