## What it is
A Windows utility that kills the Oculus Dash process and auto-launches SteamVR when an Oculus headset is worn, effectively turning it into a near-native SteamVR headset. It improves performance by eliminating the memory and GPU overhead of Oculus Dash.

## Use cases
- disable oculus dash to boost steamvr performance
- auto-launch steamvr when putting on oculus headset
- make oculus headset behave like a native steamvr headset
- reduce memory and gpu usage from oculus dash
- skip oculus home interface on quest/link

## When to choose
- you use an Oculus headset with Link/Air Link and only play SteamVR games
- you want maximum SteamVR performance and don't need Oculus Dash features
- you want SteamVR to start automatically when you put the headset on

## When to avoid
- you play Oculus store games, since killing Dash breaks them
- you need the Oculus button or Dash features like desktop mirroring
- you want actively maintained software with official support
