Spec score 7.8 #14 of 35 in Graphics optimisers

What it is

Hone brings supported Windows, GPU, and in-game settings together to help optimize a Windows gaming PC. It adjusts game settings and selected Windows and network settings with the aim of improving FPS and reducing PC-side delay. Game Mode manages selected background processes and services while a game is running. Hone says it detects more than 100,000 titles for system-wide optimization, though dedicated presets and supported settings vary by game. Users can review available changes and choose which to apply; for supported registry optimizations, Hone saves original values for later restoration. The Free plan is free and includes 10 optimizations, one extra per referral up to 15, Balanced Game Mode, standard Boost-Ups, and ads. Premium adds unlimited optimizations, premium-only optimizations and game presets, Custom and Performance Game Mode, Premium Boost-Ups, no ads, and priority support; its regional price is shown at checkout. Hone supports Windows 10 and Windows 11, not macOS, consoles, or phones. Settings are saved to the cloud, and users can sign in with a Hone account, Google, or Discord.
