🛡️ PowerLockGuard v1.0.0 — Release Notes

Smart Power Guard for Developers, AI Agents & Laptop Users
Developed with ❤️ by GMK Solution


🚀 What's New in v1.0.0

We are thrilled to release PowerLockGuard v1.0.0, the ultimate lightweight power management tool engineered specifically for developers running autonomous AI coding agents, long builds, and laptop users who value battery health and physical security.

🌟 1. Autonomous AI Agent & Dev Work Watchdog

  • Pre-Configured Intelligent Presets:
    • ⚡ AI Agents + Active Builds (Recommended): Automatically tracks Claude Code, Aider, Codex, Copilot, Cline, Antigravity, Node.js, Python, Git, Cargo/Rust, etc.
    • 🤖 AI Coding Agents Only: Dedicated purely to autonomous AI agent processes.
    • 💻 All Dev Tools: Includes heavy IDE runtimes (Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf).
    • 🎯 Specific Process Name: Manually target any custom process, script, or executable.
  • Configurable Idle Cutoff Thresholds: Select from 1.5%, 2.5%, 3.5% (Default), 5.0%, 8.0%, and 10.0% CPU to match lightweight or heavy developer setups.
  • Configurable Inactivity Buffers: Choose 1m, 2m, 3m (Recommended), 5m, or 10m to accommodate LLM API thinking latency without prematurely sleeping.

🔴 2. Stuck / Runaway Process Detection & Auto-Kill

  • Vivid Alert Red Highlighting (🔴 STUCK / High): Any deadlocked or pinned background process consuming excessive CPU is flagged with a soft red alert background (#FEE2E2), dark bold red text, and pushed to the very top row of the telemetry grid.
  • ⚡ Auto-Kill on Sleep Engine: A new toggleable option automatically terminates hung or runaway tasks right before putting the PC to sleep. Never wake up to an overheated machine or dead battery again!

📊 3. Live Per-Process Telemetry Grid

  • Real-time double-buffered, flicker-free list view displaying:
    • Process Name & PID
    • Normalized CPU %
    • RAM Memory (MB)
    • Activity Badges (🔴 STUCK / High, 🟢 Active, ⚪ Idle)
    • Tracking State (✓ Tracking, 🚫 Ignored)
  • 100% Responsive Columns: Perfectly scales with your window size; zero bottom horizontal scrollbar.
  • Context Controls: Instantly ignore non-critical processes or terminate pegged tasks with 1 click.

🎨 4. Modern Gradient Activity & Countdown Meter

  • Replaces generic progress bars with an anti-aliased 22px custom gradient meter:
    • Active Work: Vibrant Emerald-to-Teal gradient indicating active CPU workload.
    • Stuck Tasks: Warning Amber-to-Red gradient indicating heavy load.
    • Idle Countdown: Sleek Royal Blue-to-Indigo gradient tracking countdown buffer progression.

🛡️ 5. Instant Charger Guard (Electricity Outage & AI Task RAM Preservation)

  • Sudden Power Outage Protection: When electricity suddenly fails and your home/office WiFi router drops, Charger Guard instantly puts your PC into Deep Sleep (S3 Standby) in milliseconds.
  • Preserves In-Flight AI Tasks: Freezes your autonomous AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider) safely in RAM before network timeout exceptions or broken responses corrupt your code and burn expensive LLM tokens. When power and router return, tap the power button to resume seamlessly!
  • Anti-Theft & Battery Health: Also triggers instant lock/sleep if a charging cord is unplugged at a public venue, saving 100% of your laptop's battery.

🪶 6. Ultra-Lightweight & 100% Offline

  • Single standalone executable (~90 KB).
  • Zero dependencies, zero installers, zero background bloat (<15 MB RAM, 0.0% CPU when idle).
  • Zero network telemetry: 100% private and offline.
