Mem Reduct Features

Clearing memory

The program allows you to get detailed information about the degree of RAM utilization, about which process consumes how much. The cleaning process, depending on the settings, is carried out manually or automatically. According to the developers, Mem Reduct clears up to 50 percent of memory, unloading the system cache, inactive processes, and data from closed programs.

Basic settings

It is convenient to monitor the memory status thanks to the system tray icon, which displays information as a percentage. If you hover your mouse over the icon, you can get other information, such as the status of the paging file. For convenience, the icon informs the user about the load in three colors: green, yellow, red.

The program uses an advanced algorithm that monitors the state of RAM in the background, tracking all demanding running processes. If necessary, a cleaning process is launched to restore the lack of memory in the system.

Design settings

After stopping a process, the cache and dump are cleared automatically. If the memory is loaded to a certain percentage, all redundant data is deleted. By default, cleaning starts at 90 percent load, but this figure can be changed in the settings.

Utility settings

The program is ready to work immediately after installation; if necessary, you can make a number of settings. For example, the user can set a percentage, upon reaching which automatic memory cleaning will begin. The cleaning process can also be started at certain intervals, for example, every 5, 10, 30 minutes, but it is important to know that when a “heavy” program is running or a game is running, the effect will be the opposite.

Design settings

Automatic cleaning can be completely disabled by running it only when necessary using the Ctrl+F1 key combination. Cleaning runs in the background and does not interfere with other programs. It is possible to select memory areas to be cleared, and opposite each item there is a hint: for which version of Windows this or that item is preferable.

Tray settings

It is possible to customize the appearance of the program by adjusting the color scheme to suit you. For example, the red color of the “critical level” tray icon can be replaced with any other color. The user has the opportunity to customize the background of the program, as well as the level of transparency, enable or disable the stroke, and round the corners. Fonts are also customizable with the ability to choose size and color. All settings are saved in the program folder; if necessary, they can be reset to default by pressing the appropriate button.

Using Mem Reduct

The main Mem Reduct window looks like this. Let’s immediately figure out how to use the program, so go to “File” – “Settings”.

On the “Memory Cleaning” tab, you can set the RAM to be cleared automatically: if it is full by more than a specified percentage or every 30 minutes, for example. It also lists the hotkeys that are used for cleaning. For example, when working in the background, you press them and the RAM is cleared, without the need to call up the program window itself.

Now let’s go to the “Trey” tab. Here you can specify what action will be performed when you click on the program icon in the tray. In the example, double-clicking the mouse will open the window, and clicking the middle button will start the cleaning process.

The tray icon looks like this. It shows the memory load as a percentage. If it is green – everything is in order, orange – dangerous, red – critical load level. By the way, these colors can be changed in the settings on the “Appearance” tab.

By right-clicking on the icon, a context menu will open, in which you can also make the necessary settings.

To start the cleaning process, you need to press the “Clear memory” button, or the installed hotkey combination, in the example Ctrl+F1.

Then a confirmation window may appear, in which click “OK”, you can remove it: select the “Settings” tab at the top and uncheck the “Require confirmation to start cleaning” item.

The system cache will be cleared. The value in the “Physical Memory” section in the “Available” line will begin to increase, and the percentage in the “Used” field will decrease accordingly. A pop-up window may also appear in the tray, displaying the cleaning results.

So that the program is always up to date. Open the “Settings” tab and check the “Check for updates periodically” checkbox.

Download and install Mem Reduct for Windows. As you can see, it is not difficult to use, but the computer will be cleaned and work on it will speed up a little.
