RamBeacon

Product features

Evidence first. Actions second.

RamBeacon is a focused Windows utility. Each surface answers a specific question about your machine, and every supported change goes through a reviewable action flow.

Rust-enforced policy

The UI cannot override protection classes.

No automatic cleanup

Every process change requires approval.

Bounded local history

Retention is configurable, not unlimited.

Explore

Eight surfaces for understanding a Windows machine.

Each feature page explains what is implemented, how the evidence works, and where the limits are.
Memory leak detection

Investigate memory growth without calling everything a leak.

RamBeacon tracks bounded per-process memory history across 5, 15, 30 and 60-minute windows. It highlights sustained growth, spikes and confidence evidence — then leaves the judgment with you.

Process intelligence

See the process tree, the evidence and the safety class together.

A searchable, sortable process explorer with application grouping, parent-child relationships, identity details and a deterministic protection policy enforced by the Rust backend.

Developer cleanup

Reclaim project disk space without blind-deleting folders.

Scan explicitly selected project directories or drives, review known build artifacts, inspect a 2D/3D storage map, and move only approved targets to the Windows Recycle Bin.

Recycle Bin only · per-target revalidation

Startup impact

Review startup entries with sources and reversible changes.

Inspect HKCU/HKLM Run keys and Startup folders, see conservative impact evidence, and enable or disable entries through Windows StartupApproved without deleting them.

Enable/disable is reversible through Windows StartupApproved. Entries are not deleted.

System health

One chronology for resource spikes, process changes and cleanup results.

RamBeacon merges resource spikes, process starts and exits, browser-tab connections, watchlist alerts, startup changes and approved cleanup outcomes into a filterable timeline with JSON export.

Background activity

Find sustained background activity with deterministic evidence.

Investigate sustained CPU, persistent disk activity and repeated process restarts using clear thresholds, severity, an event timeline and optional AI explanations — never automatic termination.

Safe cleanup

Review every target before an approval-bound cleanup.

Smart Cleanup presents explainable candidates, preset and safety filtering, child and unsaved-work warnings, and an approval preview bound to the exact process identity.

example values

PID + creation time + executable path

Protected process policy checked in Rust

Per-target outcome recorded

A recommendation never authorizes an action.

Application watchlist

Watch the applications that matter to your workflow.

Set local per-application memory and CPU thresholds, see running and not-running states, and receive Event Center alerts with cooldowns. No process changes are made.
