GFreqlet

GFreqlet is a handy GNOME applet for Linux that keeps an eye on your CPU frequency. Not only can it monitor the scaling, but it also lets you change the frequency or governor with just a click! How cool is that?

Easy to Use

This applet automatically figures out which frequencies and governors your processor can use. So, no need to spend time configuring anything. It’s super straightforward and minimal!

No Root Access Needed

You don’t have to run GFreqlet as root, which makes things easier. If there’s ever a need for super user actions, you’ll just get a password prompt from gksudo.

Open Source Software

The best part? GFreqlet is open source! It's licensed under the GNU GPL (General Public License), which means you can check out the code and even contribute if you want.
