Rule packs

Ready made setups you can switch on in one press, and your own rules as a file you can share.

  • Settings > Rule packs has three profiles:
    • Gaming mode: OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, Teams, Slack and Spotify capped so your game gets the processor.
    • Bloat blocker: alerts when updaters or anything from Downloads or Temp start, with background updaters capped.
    • Quiet laptop: browsers and chat apps capped for quieter fans and longer battery life.
  • Turning a profile off removes exactly the rules it added and keeps any you changed since.
  • Export my rules saves your limits and alerts as JSON. Import a pack merges one in after checking it, so a bad file never half applies. The profiles are in packs/ as examples.

Safety

  • Limits now double check every process before touching it: the program on disk must match the rule's name, and nothing in the Windows folder is ever limited, even if a process id was reused.

Download
