Automatic CPU speed & power optimizer for Linux based on active monitoring of laptop's battery state, CPU usage and system load.
### Why do I need auto-cpufreq?
## Why do I need auto-cpufreq?
One of the problems with Linux today on laptops is that CPU will run in unoptimized manner which will negatively reflect on battery life. For example, CPU will run using "performance" governor with turbo boost enabled regardless if it's plugged in to power or not.

With that said, I needed a simple tool which would automatically make "cpufreq" related changes, save bettery like TLP, but let Linux kernel do most of the heavy lifting. That's how auto-cpufreq was born.
