Kiwi is a Windows application monitor that gives the user the options to monitor selected applications, display all kind of statistics and define rules if certain criteria are met. Applications can be added by clicking on the Add button in the main interface or by adding them directly by opening the window that is displaying the running processes on the computer system. Basic and advanced rules can be defined during the process. Basic rules include alerts which will notify the user when an application starts, ends, exceeds memory usage or runs longer than a specified time.
The basic actions that can be defined in the Windows application monitor are to close the application if the memory or cpu usage exceeds parameters, to start additional programs if the application starts or ends or to turn off the computer when it ends. The advanced rules are only available in the commercial version of the application monitor.
Kiwi will collect statistics about application usage and resource consumption. The Windows application monitor will for example dsiplay the average running time per day or session, the average memory usage and the maximum peak memory usage.
The last option that might be interesting for some users is to define minimum and maximum allowed working set in Megabytes. Kiwi uses just a few Megabytes of computer memory and about 30 Megabytes of virtual memory while minimized which should be acceptable for users who would like to monitor their applications and make use of the additional options of the program.

Martin, why you not Posted download links in your articles ?
I’ve just tried this out. Most of the good stuff requires buying the PRO version.
The statistics for time seem to be wrong. I examined FF and the user & Kernel times are very far off from other programs.
The UI itself is kind of klunky requiring opening different windows and each opens on top of the other.
item32 the link to the homepage of the program is in the first sentence.
JoJo yes some features of the pro version look interesting.
I mean direct download. One Click – download starting.

I do not like direct download links. I like to look at the author’s site as few reviews can give all the details that the author can. I also save the location of the download in the folder where I install the product, in case I want to manually check for updates.
Cool tool. Hmm, stats for me are correct.
@Lebb – If you have a multiple-core CPU then I believe the stats may not be correct. The CPU times seem to be doubled because I have a duo-core CPU. Quad-cores would probably show 4x the amount.
