Discord Ram Limiter

Limit Discord RAM usage with this terminal-based tool.

Source ↗

Overview

Discord can quietly consume 800MB+ of RAM in the background. Discord Ram Limiter is a lightweight terminal UI tool built in Go that monitors Discord memory usage in real-time and applies configurable soft limits - without killing the process or interrupting your conversation.

Why I Built This

I got tired of Discord quietly consuming 800MB+ in the background while I was trying to run other things. Task managers felt like overkill. I wanted something minimal, fast, and living right in my terminal.

How It Works

The tool hooks into the system's process list, identifies Discord's memory footprint in real-time, and applies configurable soft limits. When Discord crosses the threshold, the tool nudges it back - gracefully, without crashing your session.

Features

  • Real-time memory monitoring via system process API
  • Configurable RAM threshold (default: 300MB)
  • Clean TUI built with Go for a smooth terminal experience
  • Lightweight - the tool itself uses almost no memory (ironic, we know)

Usage

git clone https://github.com/helloirfanaditya/discord-ram-limiter.git
cd discord-ram-limiter

# Then run:
DiscordRamLimiter.exe
