Memory States
Lirum uses the same high-level buckets iOS reports:
- Active: memory actively used by apps and the system.
- Wired: memory that cannot be paged out (system-critical).
- Inactive: recently used memory that can be reclaimed if needed.
- Free: currently unallocated memory.
Available in this tool is Free + Inactive.
Notes And Limitations
- iOS manages memory automatically; seeing low Free memory is not always a problem by itself.
- Values and categories vary by device and OS, and update continuously while the tool is open.
