Explained
Plain language before permission.
Tempered tells you what is slowing the PC down, why the proposed change helps, and what it will touch.
Open beta · Windows 10 and 11
The honest PC optimizer for Windows power users, developers, and gamers.
Your system, explained before it is changed. Tempered reads the machine, finds the real constraint, and proposes a measured fix. You approve it. You can undo it.
Download for Windows
Free. Windows 10 & 11. Sign in with email or Google to start.
The honest optimizer. No snake oil, no fake issues, no silent changes.
Not for: macOS or Linux, or anyone who wants a one-click "boost" button with no explanation.

RAM93%29.7 / 32 GB
Measured
Real deltas, not a score.
Read boot-time changes, memory reclaimed, temperatures, and live load without invented health percentages.
Revertible
Every change leaves an undo path.
Restore a setting from the Undo Center instead of guessing what an optimizer silently changed.

02 Operating method
Observe. Explain. Act once.
Most optimizer software starts with a dramatic diagnosis. Tempered starts with the readings and shows its work.
Finding 03 / 05
Discord adds 9 seconds after sign-in.
Safe to disable at startup. The application stays installed and can still be opened normally.
Expected result−9 sec
- 01Read the system
Live load, startup work, memory pressure, temperatures, and active processes.
- 02State the constraint
A plain-language finding with the process or setting that caused it.
- 03Ask before changing
One clear action, expected result, and a recorded route back.
03 Try the advisor
Approve a fix. Watch it land in the ledger.
Sample data — a replay of real findings, not a reading of your PC. The real app measures first.

04 Inside Tempered
One instrument. Six useful views.
See the machine as it is, then decide what deserves intervention. What's free and what Torque adds.
Ask what's slow. Get a plain-language answer.
Plain-language answers
Every answer is tied to a reviewable action you approve or skip.
InspectSee what's actually consuming resources.
Live readings
CPU, RAM, GPU, disk, uptime, temperatures, and the processes behind the load.
InspectQuiet the background before you game or work.
Game Mode, anti-cheat safe
Classify what is running, suspend safe background apps, and turn on Game Mode.
Anti-cheat safe: no kernel drivers, no process injection, no game-memory access. Game-related changes are configuration-file only.
InspectTune settings knowing you can put them back.
Revertible tweaks
Review power, startup, and graphics settings without deleting system components.
InspectLook deeper than Windows lets you.
Deeper than Task Manager · Torque
A full task manager in its own window — richer detail than Windows shows, with its own AI.
InspectLet your AI tools read your PC.
Your AI tools, read-only · Torque
Local MCP server for Claude Code and Claude Desktop — strictly read-only, loopback only.
InspectAnti-cheat safe by design.
No kernel drivers, no process injection, no game-memory access. Game Mode suspends background apps and restores them after — none of the techniques anti-cheat systems ban.
05 Built for restraint
The safest change is the one you can account for.
Tempered keeps a ledger of what changed, when it changed, and how to put it back. Empty is a good sign.

06 Already using a free tool?
Free tools cover basic cleaning.
Tempered adds AI-assisted analysis, per-change approval, and one-click undo. If a free tool does what you need, use it — and Tempered's free tier is the full core app, so the comparison costs nothing to run yourself.

07 What it costs
The app is free. The AI work is what you pay for.
Every limit is a stated number — nothing here is sold as "unlimited," because a cap you cannot see is not a promise.
Free
$0
forever

Torque
$5.99
per month, billed annually · $7.99 month to month
Every deep scan with generous caps, the Task Manager, Process Watch, the Developer Hub, and the opt-in advisor powers. 7-day free trial on the monthly plan, card required, started from inside the app.

Limits high enough that you stop counting them. Still stated, still capped.
01Does Tempered clean the registry?
No. Tempered does not use registry cleaning as a performance claim and does not inflate a list of invented issues.
02Will it change settings without asking?
No. Recommendations explain the expected effect and wait for approval. Changes are recorded in the Undo Center.
03Which versions of Windows are supported?
Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit.
04Is this another PC health score?
No. Tempered favors observable readings and before-and-after deltas over a vague score.
