 # G-Helper (For G14, G15, ROG FLOW, and others)
 
-A tiny system tray utility that allows you set performance and GPU profiles for your laptop. Same as ASUS Armory Crate does but without it completely!. 
+A small utility that allows you do almost everyting you could do with Armory Crate but without extra bloat and unnecessary services.
 
-Designed for Asus Zephyrus G14 2022 (with AMD Radeon iGPU and dGPU). But could and should potentially work for G14 of 2021 and 2020, G15, X FLOW, and other ROG models.
+1. Switch between default **Performance modes** - Silent / Balanced / Turbo and apply default fan curves
+2. Switch between Eco / Standard or Ultimate **GPU modes**
+3. Change laptop screen refresh rate - 60hz or your maximum (120hz, 144hz, etc depending on the model) with display overdrive (OD)
+4. View default fan profiles for every mode and apply custom ones
+5. Control keyboard backlit animation and colors
+6. Set battery charge limit to preserve battery
+7. Monitor CPU temperature, fan speeds and battery discharge rate
+8. **Automatically switch to Eco(iGPU)/60hz on battery** and back to Standard(GPU)/120hz modes when plugged
+9. Support for M4 key / FN+F5 to cycle through performance modes (with OSD notification) and FN+F4 to cycle through keeyboard animation modes
+10. Turn cpu turbo boost on/off with one checkbox to keep temps cooler

+To keep autoswitching and hotkeys work app needs to stay in running in tray. It doesn't consume any resources.

 I don`t have Microsoft certificate to sign app yet, so if you set a warning from Windows Defender on launch (Windows Protected your PC), click More Info -> Run anyway.
 
 Alternatively you can comile and run project by yourself :)

 Settings file is storer at %AppData%\GHelper
 
 P.S.: It's not recommended to use app in combination with Armory Crate, cause they adjust same settings.
 Please keep in mind, that if you also run MyASUS app periodically it will also try to adjust same battery charge settings
