Review
This is official description
Initially developed for Firefox only, Minimem can reduce the memory footprint of any application. It runs in the background and can be set up to optimize as many proceses as you'd like, using a very intuitive graphical interface. Unlike other memory optimization tools, it gives you full control over what applications you want to optimize, when and how often, as well as the possibility to only optimize memory when required and relevant.
Minimem runs in the background and is fully non-intrusive. It stays in your tray where you can access its settings at any time and will remember your favorite settings for an optimal ease-of-use. Its intuitive GUI should make it useable for any type of user so no specific skills are required to take advantage of this great tool.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 1.3
PC users have come to know that the longer they keep an application open and running, the higher its memory use will be. Users with older computers or with a large number of applications running simultaneously face this issue very often. MiniMem allows you to freely optimize any application’s memory usage without closing that application.
Initially, this tool was developed only with Firefox in mind. However, it now can reduce the memory usage of any application. While this tool works in the background, it highly improves your computer’s performance without interfering with any of the tasks being performed. You have the possibility of selecting both the application you would like to optimize and the time period during which you wish MiniMem to be keeping an eye on it. If time duration is not set, the default time-lapse for activating the optimization process will be of 30 seconds.
Technically, what MiniMem does is closes unnecessary memory pages in order to enhance performance. This tool analyzes all the applications and processes running concurrently and takes its own decisions based on the expected memory usage and the actual usage of each application. From MiniMem, you can reach your Task Manager with just one click, while it can also show you the total memory used and the available memory. Once started, this tool will remain in your system tray, from where you can change its settings as and when required. |
- Easy to use.
- Improves performance up to 50%.
- Free tool.
|
- It shows a few bugs under Windows 7.

Translation contributors section in About dialog
Minor GUI improvements What's new in version 2.0
- Support for native 64 bits Windows OS;
separate download file available
- Memory colored indicator as tray icon, in addition to memory info in the tray icon tooltip.
- Localization of the application, with multiple languages available (feedback welcome to improve the translations!)
- Engine optimization, so it uses even less CPU
- More RAM thresholds available, for more granularity in their selection
- Full rewrite of the architecture What's new in version 1.3
Bug fix: A free license expiration message was presented to users;
this has been removed
Bug fix: Minimem no longer shows up when switching applications and when it's minimized
Bug fix: the settings Window is no longer visible when starting Minimem on Vista and with special settings
Available physical RAM and page file shown on the tray icon tooltip
Minimem informs when a new version is available (note: requires internet connection and sends product info)
Improved error handling though Minimem now seems impossible to crash
Use of a standard Windows xml-based settings file, with default values in Program Files and user values in the App Data folder, which better supports portable installations and backward compatibility |
