# autoPriority
Automatically sets high CPU priority for processes exceeding a memory threshold.
**Windows only.**
## Build
Requires Go 1.26+.
```
# Standard build (with console window)
go build -o autopriority.exe .
# Background build (no console, minimal size)
go build -ldflags="-H windowsgui -s -w" -o autopriority.exe .
```
## Usage
```
autopriority [flags]
```
| Flag | Default | Description |
|-------------|---------------|----------------------------------|
| `-mem` | 536870912 | Memory threshold in bytes (512 MB) |
| `-interval` | 1 minute | Scan interval (min 10s) |
| `-dry-run` | false | Log only, don't change priority |
Examples:
```
# Run with 1 GB memory threshold, scanning every 30 seconds
autopriority -mem=1073741824 -interval=30s
# Dry run — log decisions without changing anything
autopriority -dry-run
```
Log is always written to `%TEMP%\autopriority.log`.
## Auto-start
Open **Win+R**, type `shell:startup`, and press Enter. Then place a shortcut to `autopriority.exe` in the folder that opens.
## Dependencies
None. Uses only Windows API (kernel32, psapi) via raw syscall.
