This doesn’t do anything particularly revolutionary, but it does give you a nice GUI with the ability to assign hotkeys to suspend/resume.
Useful if you want console-like game suspend to quick-switch between games, or if you’re just trying to save on the electricity bill.
EDIT to add: suspended apps stay in RAM/VRAM, so be aware of your specs/game requirements if you’re trying to achieve console-like “game switching”. Also, could be incredibly useful for mobile gamers to save on battery/cool down the device a bit while not playing for a minute or two.

It has a global hotkey, but it’s hardcoded to the pause button (Fn+P on most keyboards that lack a pause button).
Yeah, I just use pause for music, and I have a macropad with f13-18 so I just set one to trigger suspend.
Makes sense.
