  • Highly configurable through JSON: add, remove and reorder modules freely
  • Per-module memory SPD data, including timings, which is hard to find anywhere else
  • Live per-core frequency and memory frequency readings
  • Several distributions package outdated versions, which the project does not support
  • Only actively tested on x86-64 and aarch64
  • Closed source freeware; the website is ad-supported and asks you to allow ads
