+ One-Click Boost
+Activate Game Boost to set CPU priority, flush RAM, lower timer resolution, tweak GPU power profiles, optimize network settings, and stop unnecessary services — all with a single click.
+
+
+
+ RAM Optimizer
+Deep RAM cleanup that goes beyond simple cache clearing: trims working sets of all processes and purges the Windows Standby List using kernel-level calls for maximum free memory.
+
+
+
+ Real-Time Monitor
+Live system metrics including CPU, GPU, RAM utilization, temperatures, fan speeds, and network latency — powered by LibreHardwareMonitor for accurate hardware readings.
+
+
+
+ Network Optimizer
+Applies TCP registry tweaks (Nagle's algorithm, receive window auto-tuning) and monitors ping latency in real-time. Designed for low-latency competitive gaming.
+
+
+
+ Service Manager
+Smart service detection identifies non-essential Windows services that consume resources. Safely disable them during gaming and restore them afterward.
+
+
+
+ Game Detection
+Automatically detects when you launch a game and applies boost optimizations. Detects 30+ popular games including Steam, Epic, Riot, Blizzard, and EA titles.
+
+
+
+ Shader Cache Cleaner
+Clears DirectX, NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel shader caches to free disk space and fix rendering issues. Scans all known cache locations automatically.
+
+
+
+ Process Manager
+View and manage running processes with the ability to set CPU priority and affinity. Kill resource-hungry background processes to reclaim performance.
+
+
+
+ Desktop Widget
+Always-on-top floating widget shows CPU, RAM, GPU, and ping at a glance while you game — with a one-click boost button right on your desktop.
