## What it is
auto-cpufreq is an automatic CPU speed and power optimizer for Linux that monitors battery state, CPU usage, temperature, and system load to adjust CPU frequency scaling. It runs as a daemon with both CLI and GUI interfaces to improve laptop battery life without performance compromises.

## Use cases
- extend laptop battery life on linux
- automatically switch cpu governor based on power source
- reduce cpu overheating and fan noise
- monitor cpu frequency temperature and load stats
- disable turbo boost when on battery
- optimize cpu performance automatically without manual tuning

## When to choose
- you run linux on a laptop and want automatic power optimization
- you want better battery life without manually configuring cpufreq governors
- you need a daemon that adapts cpu behavior to battery vs AC power

## When to avoid
- you are on windows or macos
- you need fine-grained manual overclocking or undervolting control
- you already have a tuned power management setup like TLP and prefer manual control
