⬇ Installation

⚙ Manually

Clone the repo and run

./gradlew linkReleaseExecutableNative

Then you can take binary file from ./build/bin/native/releaseExecutable

Unobvious point - you need libcrypt to build-up. It can be installed as libxcrypt-compat

📦 By package manager

⚠ Attention ⚠

This app is designed primarily for gaming laptops with AMD CPUs to reduce micro-freezes in games. However, it's not a perfect solution. Disabling boost across all cores can significantly impact performance, as most games are optimized to utilize a single CPU core. A better approach is to use a more fine-tuned tool like RyzenAdj for managing CPU performance.
But if you prefer a quick solution without extra configuration and know the potential trade-offs, this tool could be just what you need.
