We’ve optimized the desktop app to use less power and feel lighter.
- Reduced desktop rendering to 30 FPS
- Removed high-GPU animated startup effects
- Disabled unnecessary desktop animations
- Improved background/tray efficiency
- Added a lightweight install option for Edge and Chrome users
- Faster, simpler startup experience
Note: The full desktop download still includes Chromium, so it remains around 75 MB. For the lightest option, install HourBoost directly from Edge or Chrome using “Install HourBoost.”
