About this app

RAM Truth - A simple app for displaying the following breakdown of your device's RAM (random access memory) layout:


RAM Size (on the title bar)

-- Reserved: A reserved/hidden area that includes the below-kernel fixed allocations like DMA buffers, RAM for the baseband radios, CPU(s), GPU, etc. Due to the diverse nature of small-RAM devices, we can only claim better than 99% accuracy here and in the total. All listed values following this, from User through Idle, are 100% accurate.

-- User: The visible (non-hidden) portion of physical RAM available for use by the system.

------ Active: The amount of physical RAM currently in use by the system.

------ Available: The amount of physical RAM left unused or used as cache memory.

---------- Hibernating: The amount of physical RAM used as cache memory and using no CPU or power resources. Other apps may be hibernating and written to storage rather than remaining in RAM.

---------- Idle: The amount of physical RAM left unused by the system.​


Version 1.1 adds a Settings/Preferences menu to allow you to select different output text sizes.


Note: the app's output will also be captured to the clipboard for your convenience.

Ratings and reviews

The information should automatically refresh at an interval that is numerically specified by the user. Additionally, the interface should adhere to the most recent Material standard, yet does not. The legend is very useful.

Opened app and bingo! Verified to me what I needed to know straight away. 2GB ram. Tablet sold as 4GB ram. Tablet falsified ROM to indicate 4GB. I used another app to start with, the other app was for filling the ram , which would keep freeing resources when it still had (supposedly) 53% free. This other app must have been reading the ROM as it indicated the tablet had 4GB. Halfing the figure then made sense for the freeing of resources as there was really only 1.5% of ram free. Many thanks👏👍

Excellent app even though it's doesn't support my phone ( claim's it's made for older phone's and may not work properly). I'll tell you it works on my 2022 Motorola without a hiccup. I've used this app on every phone I've ever had and I've never been disappointed or even meh. i love it and recommend to family and friends. No intrusive adds excellent app I rate it 6 stars. And I've only rated one other app with an extra star that's cpu x. If the two ever worked together it would rock.
