## Lightweight

Light on CPU, memory and storage, so League of Legends keeps its frame rate on entry-level PCs too.

- **CPU** ≈ 0.1%

- **RAM Memory** ≈ 10 MB

- **Storage** ≈ 20 MB

### Built on Windows

It uses tools already built into Windows, so there is nothing extra to load while you play.

### Separate from the game

It sits in its own window on top of League of Legends and never touches the game itself.

### Works only when needed

It updates when there is something new to show you, and does nothing the rest of the time.

## Customize

Show only what you want, where you want it.
