RAM-Cleaner-Standby-Purger

A lightweight, dark-themed Windows utility designed to monitor physical RAM and instantly reclaim unreleased working sets and cached standby lists via native NT kernel interfaces.

✨ Features ⚡ Native NT Kernel Purging: Direct invocation of NtSetSystemInformation with elevated token privileges to flush memory caches instantly.

📊 Real-time Memory Meter: Live physical RAM gauge tracking exact load percentage and utilized/total capacity.

🎯 Granular Flush Controls:

Working Sets: Trims idle memory pages across user-mode processes.

Modified Page List: Forces dirty cache writeback to disk.

Standby List (Priority 0): Evicts only low-priority cached memory.

Standby List (All): Fully purges the standby cache for maximum free RAM.

⏱️ Automation Triggers: Configurable threshold (e.g., auto-flush when RAM ≥ 85%) and interval timer flushes (15m, 30m, 1h, 2h).

🎮 Game Pause / Exclusion List: Suspends scheduled and threshold cleanups when user-defined games or heavy applications are running to avoid mid-session micro-stutters.

🪟 Low Overhead Tray Service: Minimizes to the taskbar tray with quick context-menu flush actions.

🚀 Download & Installation

Download RamCleaner-v1.0.0-win-x64.zip from the Releases section.

Extract the archive anywhere on your system.

Launch RamCleaner.exe (Run as Administrator is requested automatically via manifest for kernel memory privileges).

⚠️ Performance Note for Gamers

Flushing RAM does not crash active games. However, clearing caches mid-game may introduce brief frame hitching or micro-stutters while evicted textures reload from storage.

Recommended Practice:

Run Clean All RAM Lists Now prior to launching your game session. Add your game executable (e.g., game.exe) into the Exclusion List (Game Pause) tab.
