About RAM Truth
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.

Does EXACTLY what it says on the tin! No ads, no additional permissions needed, and it tells you what each reading means with no fancy but unnecessary frills. If only other Apps were like this...

I was wondering why my phone, supposedly with 2GB of RAM, was struggling to receive a call whilst I was playing PKMN Go. This app showed me that I only have 1GB, and only 200MB is actually free to use. Not only that, it doesn't want access to all my phone's content, and no ads! Thanks, ScaryAlien!

Nice work and thanks. Have now gladly relieved myself of CM. Maybe a % RAM used in the title bar would save me doing the mental calculations.

Sometimes you just need a simple, well written app, that does what it's supposed to do and nothing else. No baked in "features" that drain your battery by constantly trying to ping ad servers, mine your phone usage behind your back, or add in other stuff you'll never use. This is one of those simple apps. It's great, it just works. Thank you!

Everything I wanted to know and nothing I didn't. And what's this, a free app with no ads? This is why I still hold out hope that unicorns exist.

Does exactly what it describes. And even claims where it cannot be completely accurate. It even tells you how much of your ram is actually ram and how much is zram (device storage used as ram, slower than actual ram). Disappointing manufacturers are putting in zram as filler
