> Real-Time Squarified Treemap RAM Visualizer for Windows Desktop
RAM VIEW is a modern Windows desktop utility that visualizes live system RAM usage as small, translucent, floating boxes — one box per process (or process group), sized proportionally to that process's Working Set physical memory consumption, arranged via a squarified treemap layout (Bruls, Huizing, van Wijk).
It transforms task monitoring from sterile lists into a living, ambient data visualization with a dark glass aesthetic.
WS_EX_LAYERED and WS_EX_TRANSPARENT for true click-through ghost mode.DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea and dark mode attributes for native acrylic/glass blur.PerMonitorV2 High-DPI support.System, Idle, csrss.exe, wininit.exe, services.exe, smss.exe, lsass.exe, dwm.exe, PID 0/4) prevents accidental BSODs or corruption.Ctrl+Shift+R).Run in PowerShell or Command Prompt:
winget install Ahmadhassan806.RAMView
Download the latest self-contained standalone executable directly from GitHub Releases without installing any runtimes.
Run the PowerShell installer script:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\installer\Install-RAMView.ps1 -CreateDesktopShortcut
This installs RAM VIEW into %LocalAppData%\Programs\RAMView, creates Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts, and registers in Windows Add/Remove Programs for clean uninstallation.

RAM VIEW intentionally uses Working Set (Process.WorkingSet64) as its primary metric because the product goal is visualizing actual physical RAM occupation in hardware memory:
totalTrackedMemory is defined as the sum of Working Set across all enumerated processes for the given cycle.processPercentage = processMemory / totalTrackedMemory.If you enjoy using RAM VIEW and want to support ongoing maintenance, new features, and development, consider buying me a coffee!
Every cup helps keep this project fast, modern, and open-source! ❤️
