Are you looking for a free desktop widget that reminds you to turn off your pc at night? If so – we have something for you.

But first.

Leaving your PC on at night at best heats up your internal engine and at worst causes your monthly electric bill to go up, so it makes sense to turn it off.

But some people for different reasons don’t power off nightly, some due to work related reasons others due to laziness, but whatever the reason for not turning off your computer nightly – bottom line is it amounts to energy loss and greenhouse gas emissions released into the air.

The new HP widget aims to encourage PC energy savings by giving those who forget to turn off their computers daily, a healthy reminder. The widget works in the background and tally’s up your use and the energy savings you gather by powering off.

There’s also a social component to the widget as users can see the energy savings of other users and compare or even compete.

For more details and to install the reminder widget on your PC, head on over to the website page.
