The app is interesting; I saw it in a video by Linus. But considering that I’d have an app running in the background using 1–2% of my CPU all the time, I’d expect it to be a little more useful, especially when my PC isn’t experiencing any issues. But if I ever need to troubleshoot an issue, I hope this app provides more information or has more features.
The first and most important feature would be automatic RAM cleanup, with the option to configure certain apps to be ignored.
Many browsers have a bug where, when you use YouTube, RAM usage starts to increase and isn’t always cleared. Additionally, some games use a lot of RAM because they have multiple maps, and sometimes the RAM isn’t cleared effectively either—this could help people who still have 16 GB or less.
And of course, we need more accurate monitoring and logs; that way, it would be possible to analyze potential lag or other issues related to temperature or voltage.
Otherwise, the program is very good and has a lot of potential.
@FLP yes, we need to use a little resources to keep the history, that’s true! We’ll work to continue to reduce resource usage, and we have a setting called “efficient mode” that can help.
I will discuss with our team if we can clear ram, great idea! We’ll also look to add voltage, and we’ll see how we can improve the other things too.

Extremely bend-to-your-will configurable.
Been using it since Windows 2000. Not so much nowadays. Do very little of the aforementioned YouTubing or gaming.
Haven’t tried it on Win11. No one’s given me a free new computer yet…
In my final pre-retirement job, I suggested it for a couple of Windows XP workstations where they were running some ancient SysWOW 16-bit no longer supported (as in Chapter 11) accounting software that ground to a halt, eating up memory as evidenced by Sysinternals’ RAMMap and VMMap data. A save data and system restart was needed 2-3x a day.
Set it up to run every 90 minutes. The kids were impressed. And yes, they did shuffle off some $$ to PcWinTech, though I wasn’t in on that process.
