TakoStats helps when you want to see how your phone performs while you play or use demanding apps, and then review that data later. It shows a small on screen layer with real time numbers and also keeps a log for each app session. Because it works over any app, you can keep an eye on performance without switching screens. It can run without root by using Shizuku, and you can keep the overlay tidy by choosing what to display. If needed, find the official TakoStats APK through the project’s website.
True app FPS overlay
TakoStats shows the frame rate of the current app, not the screen refresh rate. This helps you see actual gameplay performance rather than panel specs. You can keep the FPS counter visible while you play and hide it when you are done.
CPU usage and per core frequencies
You can watch overall CPU load together with each core’s active frequency. This makes it easier to notice spikes or throttling during longer sessions. The data updates in real time so you can match what you feel with what the phone is doing.
Thermals for CPU, GPU, battery, and chassis
TakoStats can read temperatures for key components when the device provides those sensors. Availability varies by model and vendor. If a sensor is missing, the app will simply not show it and the overlay remains clean.
Network download and upload speeds
The overlay can display current download and upload rates. This helps you confirm if lag is tied to bandwidth or if the issue is unrelated to connectivity. You can use it for games, video streaming, or any app that depends on data.
Per app recording with timeline graphs
TakoStats logs each session per app and renders graphs for later review. You can open these records to diagnose frame drops, thermal buildup, or bandwidth dips that happened at specific moments. This makes comparisons between different settings or updates straightforward.
Works without root through Shizuku
With Shizuku on supported devices, TakoStats can access the data it needs without requiring root. You can also choose which metrics appear so the overlay stays unobtrusive. This keeps focus on the numbers that matter to you.
On Android 15, new restrictions may affect overlays and background behavior. If the overlay does not appear, check the Display over other apps permission and confirm any foreground service prompts. For battery related shutdowns, allow TakoStats to run without battery optimization in system settings.
On older devices such as some Android 9 models, certain sensors or GPU data may not be exposed by the vendor. In that case, only the available metrics will appear. FPS shows the app frame rate, which is different from the screen refresh rate shown by some system tools.
If a new release does not work as expected on your device, some users test an older build to compare behavior. For official releases and notes, refer to the project website listed below. Modified or premium unlocked packages are unofficial and may differ from the original build maintained by the developer.
For users searching by the old name, this app has also been known as an FPS monitor in past discussions.
If the overlay is not showing, open system settings and confirm these items in order. Allow Display over other apps, grant Usage access, and exempt TakoStats from battery optimization. Then restart the app and start a new session.
If metrics are missing, the device may not provide that sensor or permission. Try reducing the number of active metrics to see if the overlay appears, then add items back one by one.
If upgrade or premium status is not reflected, ensure the device has a stable connection and try re opening the app. If the issue continues, contact the developer through the official website.
If you see a network or server error, wait a few minutes and try again. Switching to a different network can also help resolve temporary connectivity issues.
This quick guide helps you set up the overlay, connect Shizuku for no root usage, and keep the service running during long sessions. For a clean start and easy access, finish permissions before you download TakoStats updates in the future.
TakoStats overlays real time performance data on top of any app and records sessions for later review. It works without root when paired with Shizuku and lets you choose the metrics that matter. To keep up with fixes and features, look for the TakoStats latest version when updating.
