Windows Tray Memory

Windows Tray Memory is a lightweight yet powerful heavy‑process monitor and RAM cleaner for Windows. It tracks the most memory‑hungry processes in real time, safely frees RAM using native Windows APIs, and lives quietly in the system tray without getting in your way.

The Problem

Computers slow down when memory fills up, and most users don't know which process is eating their RAM. I built a lightweight tool that watches memory usage, shows exactly what's happening, and cleans things up automatically.

What I Built

Real-time dashboard — current memory usage in GB and percentage, color-coded so you instantly see if things are fine, getting tight, or critical. A timeline chart tracks changes over the last minute, and a pie chart breaks down where memory is going: apps, shared resources, or system.
Smart process list — every running process categorized as Safe, Warning, or System. You can terminate resource-heavy processes with one click (Warning processes ask for confirmation; System processes require explicit unlock in settings). Users can also tag their own processes with custom categories.
Automatic cleanup — set a memory threshold, and the app frees RAM on its own when usage crosses it. No manual intervention needed.
System tray app — runs silently in the background. No window clutter, no distractions. Starts with Windows if you want it to.
Portable — no installation. Unzip, run, done.

Result

A tool that picked up 17 stars on GitHub. It solves a real everyday problem: your PC slows down, you open this, you see why, it fixes it. Simple.
Personal project, open-source.
