MemTool in Cydia allows you to free memory in your iPhone

MemTool is an application that allows you to view your total memory usage and the processes that are running on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

MemTool

When you open MemTool, you will get a nice little graph displaying how much of the 128 MB of memory you are currently using. Below the graph you will also see a list of the three apps/processes that are using the most memory. If you select the Clean button, it will free as much memory as possible.

You can view all the processes running on your iPhone or iPod Touch by selecting the Processes option on the lower menu bar. It defaults to a list of processes starting with the process using the most memory and going down from there however, you can also view your processes by name or search for a specific process. If you select a process, you can end it by selecting the Kill Process option.

Very useful indeed, for those who like to tweak their iDevice for optimal performance. Available for download in Cydia for free.

    Cleans nicely, but half the buttons, when clicked, go to a page in a Chinese font… the program also installs itself in the “/private” folder, as Cydia puts up a red banner with exclamation point telling us this. I wonder why… it’s probably harmless…
