About auto-cpufreq

auto-cpufreq is a Linux tool that adjusts CPU speed and power settings automatically. It watches system load and whether a laptop is on battery or charger, and changes CPU frequency behaviour to balance performance and battery life.

It comes with an installer script, a snap package and Nix support, and can be tuned through an example configuration file. It suits Linux laptop users who want automatic CPU power tuning without editing settings by hand.

Strengths

  • Adjusts CPU behaviour automatically
  • Installer script, snap and Nix support
  • Optional configuration file for tuning

Limitations

  • Linux only
  • Should not run alongside other power tools that change CPU settings
