Turn off and close all unnecessary programs to make your games run smoother and faster! This tool will keep only the very basic Windows program running.
Imagine that you are working in your computer fully loaded with programs running in the background. Memory is full, CPU usage is high. And now you want to play a game! Lets say a cutting edge game that uses a lot of your computer resources.
This software will simply:
- Look at your computer’s running processes
- Save them in a list (ignoring the essential windows / system processes)
- Then it will kill (close) all the non-essential process (non-systematic)
- When you finish your game, click on Return to Normal Mode. & Yups your ex-session is back!
so basicaaly this software simply save your session before gaming then load it again in 1 simple click!

@ Chris
I not a fan / user of Vista 
I think it is do-able. I didnt try on Vista because I have no vista
cant wait for win 7 though !
Hi, I just found this program and I must say… it’s the best thing ever!! I found a similar program for linux once and I always wanted to find one for windows, great job!. However, is there any chance of having an upgraded version of this program? Adding stuff like “exceptions” programs that will not be closed when game mode is activated or adding more programs for it to shut down (if it were possible) would be 2 find additions for a second version.
Hey there,
glade you liked the app. Alright why not
..
i’ve tried it on windows 7 with the same error as above. any fix?
run as Administrator
