The tool comes in handy in case you want to cut down on energy consumption for ecological reasons.

It sports a clean and simple layout that provides information about overall energy costs and efficient measures for saving power, money, CO2, and CPU energy.

Granola provides three different modes built specifically for giving you a hand when it comes to optimizing your system performance. You can choose between a low or high speed, or the make the computer use only the needed energy.

Other important features worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to make the utility run at Windows startup, automatically check for updates, specify the energy cost, as well as pick the currency and CO2 units.
