Memory Limit App (🗔🗜)

Tell the focused app to reduce its physical memory usage.

Notes

  • This feature may be less useful than it appears. Programs automatically use more memory than they need when extra memory is available and should release that memory when it is needed by other apps.
  • Limiting memory usage unnecessarily can be wasteful, but it can also be beneficial to already have the memory free when loading new apps or features, rather than having to unload old memory first before loading new memory.

Configurables

  • App Memory Usage Default Target Mebibytes (Default: 150)
      When setting memory targets for other apps, this value will be used as the default target value. This limit works more like a suggestion than a rule, so programs will still use more memory when necessary.
  • Automatic App Memory Limiter (Default: False)
      If enabled, the tool will try to automatically reduce the amount of physical memory that the apps you have selected are using according to their respective target sizes.
  • Automatic App Memory Limiter Interval (Default: 30)
      This setting is the number of seconds the tool will wait between checks when managing the memory usage of other applications.
