# Discord RAM Limiter

Discord RAM Limiter is a small Windows desktop app that monitors Discord memory usage and can trim Discord's working set while it runs in the background.

The app uses the native Windows `SetProcessWorkingSetSize(process.Handle, -1, -1)` call on detected Discord processes when the limiter is enabled.

## Antivirus Note

This app is a small unsigned Windows executable. Some antivirus scanners may flag unsigned apps heuristically, especially when they inspect running processes. The release build is not packed or obfuscated, and the source code is available in this repository.

You __do not need__ to disable your antivirus to use this app. If you are unsure, do not run the release build; build the app from source and compare it with the release checksum.

## Features

- Modern WPF desktop interface.
- Live Discord RAM usage display.
- Discord process count display.
- Animated ON/OFF limiter switch.
- Safe background monitor loop with cleanup on exit.
- Minimize-to-tray behavior.
- System tray notification when the app is minimized.
- Tray menu with `Open` and `Exit` actions.
- Supports Discord Stable, Canary, PTB, and Development process names.

## Supported Discord Processes

The limiter looks for these process names:

```text
Discord
DiscordCanary
DiscordPTB
DiscordDevelopment
```

## Requirements

To run the release build:

- Windows 10 or newer.
- .NET Desktop Runtime, if using the framework-dependent release.

To build from source:

- Windows 10 or newer.
- .NET 10 SDK with Windows Desktop support.

## Build From Source

Clone or download the repository, then run:

```powershell
dotnet restore .\DiscordRamLimiter.sln
dotnet build .\DiscordRamLimiter.sln
```

## Run From Source

```powershell
dotnet run --project .\DiscordRamLimiter\DiscordRamLimiter.csproj
```

## Create A Local Release Build

This creates a small framework-dependent release folder:

```powershell
dotnet publish .\DiscordRamLimiter\DiscordRamLimiter.csproj -c Release --self-contained false -p:DebugType=None -p:DebugSymbols=false -o .\publish\DiscordRamLimiter-github-release
```

The output contains:

```text
DiscordRamLimiter.exe
DiscordRamLimiter.dll
DiscordRamLimiter.deps.json
DiscordRamLimiter.runtimeconfig.json
```

This project is not affiliated with Discord.

Use at your own risk. Trimming process working sets may affect Discord performance or stability, and Windows may restore memory usage as Discord continues running.
