## What it is
A free, portable Windows application that cleans and optimizes RAM using native Windows APIs. It offers automatic optimization triggers, a global hotkey, and a compact GUI requiring administrator privileges.

## Use cases
- free up ram when programs don't release memory
- optimize memory automatically when free ram drops below a threshold
- clean memory with a global hotkey while gaming
- portable ram cleaner without installation
- monitor and reduce memory usage on windows

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, portable memory cleaner on Windows XP through 11 or Windows Server
- you want automatic optimization based on schedule or free-memory thresholds
- you prefer a tool using native Windows APIs with no installation

## When to avoid
- you are on Linux or macOS
- you need deep memory diagnostics like working-set analysis rather than simple cleaning
- you cannot grant administrator privileges
