why are there no apps to remotely monitor and control temps/fans/ clocks?

there used to be an AMD one which was out when I bought my card a year ago, but they've since discontinued it.
I can't understand why there isn't another app to do these things when there are specifically pc apps which can do it so it's obviously possible to have a android/iOS client connecting to that app to remotely control it.why are there no apps to remotely monitor and control temps/fans/ clocks

there is loads, AMD literally make one if you have an AMD system.
look in app store

i guess you didn't read my post particularly well.
a) are there? I have failed to find any. there are a couple which let you monitor temps and thats about it. and more importantly
b) as i said, AMD discontinued their remote config/monitoring/streaming app (amd link) about 8 months ago.

hence me asking. if there are ones out there i'd LOVE to know

Why would you even want to? I get it if you're a server admin and your hardware isn't on site, but why would you need to remotely check your home PC? Surely if you're running intensive operations whilst you're not around you'd have already tuned your system beforehand, and if you still don't trust it then don't do it?

It's amazing what unnecessary and nonsense gimmicks people will fall for and convince themselves are necessary and game changing.

why is it a hard thing to imagine a use case for? i used to use the amd link app to tweak overclocks and monitor temps and so on via my phone app so i didn't have to keep pausing and alt-tabbing out of the game i was playing etc or if things were getting too loud to turn fans down (or up if temps were getting high) and so on.

Coming from someone who names their computers, I’d have thought you’d be the first to appreciate that it’s a case of horses for courses - what seems gimmicky to one might be genuinely useful to another. For instance, I (like many others) find LEDs all over PCs to be a bit of a silly gimmick too, but I don’t go around telling people that. To each their own, I guess!

yeah that wouldn't work really as this is lounge based HTPC/Gaming PC, not some desk thing with multiple monitors close to the user.
Ok, well i guess i know where I stand on it now and will just plod along with on screen displays etc.

Thanks guys anyway.
