Every feature, in detail
The complete list, written the way the app describes it. Pro features are marked, and the split matches the licence code exactly. Anything not built yet says so.
Safe Boost & Games
A boost is one transaction: applied together, journaled together, undone together.

Game library
FreeReads Steam's and Epic's own install records, plus any folder you add. No browsing for executables.

Playtime
FreeCounted locally for every game, including ones no launcher tracks.

Live readings
FreeCPU, memory, disk and network, plus Windows boot time compared with what's usual for this PC.
Every screen

Graphics, page file and displays
FreeThe settings Windows scatters across several pages, gathered together, with live sensors where the hardware reports them.

Quarantine and registry backups
FreeEverything Cleanup moved aside and every .reg backup, restorable one by one.
System restore points

Network
Measurement, not a speedometer. Every figure is a real round trip made from your PC.

Six things it will never do
Change anything on its own
No background schedule and no side effect of opening a page. A change happens when you press the button that describes it.
Touch a game
No injection, no hooks, no kernel driver, no reading a game's memory or files.
Weaken Windows security
Defender, UAC, SmartScreen and the firewall are reported on, never switched off.
Delete without a way back
Cleanup quarantines, registry residue is exported first, and the journal keeps every original value.
Send your data anywhere
Local by default. The licence check carries a key and an anonymous device hash. Telemetry is opt-in and off.
Show a number it didn't measure
No score out of 100, no invented percentage gains, no progress bar pretending to work.
