What is Aerofoil?

Aerofoil extends Vista and Windows 7 notebook battery life by:

  • Allowing you to manually disable Aero Glass.
  • Optionally managing Aero Glass user interface.
  • Optionally managing sound muting.
  • Optionally managing YOUR chosen power plans
  • Optionally managing Windows Sidebar.
  • Optionally showing a quick hibernate button
  • Changing icon colour to show your power type

Benefits over earlier versions and similar software:

  • Much more efficient - Aerofoil is 100% unmanaged C++ (no .Net Framework!).
  • Much smaller memory use (about 25%-30% of the size of similar software).
  • Unlike other apps, Aerofoil doesn't poll battery level continuously allowing the CPU save power by being idle more often.
  • UPX compressed meaning Aerofoil.exe is as small as it can be.
  • No configuration file - everything is customised with the installer.
  • Tried and tested on Windows 7 (thanks to D. Schiferli!)
  • Open source and free - no expiry date, adware, spyware or malware, download and compile it for yourself if you prefer!
