Nyrna is an innovative tool that allows users to suspend games and applications seamlessly, similar to the sleep/suspend function on consoles like the Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation. With Nyrna, you can pause resource-intensive tasks at any time and resume them when you are ready—just the push of a button away.
How to Suspend Games
Nyrna offers several benefits when it comes to suspending your games:
- Pause cutscenes to read subtitles or examine the scene, without losing your spot.
- Pause games that typically cannot be paused, such as single-player adventures like Dark Souls or Elden Ring.
- Stop games that keep your system running hot or playing unwanted music while you attend to something else.
- Suspend games in between checkpoints for a smoother gaming experience, for example, Hollow Knight.
How to Suspend Applications
Nyrna isn’t just for games; it can also be employed to suspend everyday applications. Here are a few instances:
- 3D rendering tasks.
- Video encoding processes.
- Software compilation activities.
When these tasks are hogging your CPU and GPU resources—potentially for hours—Nyrna lets you suspend them, freeing up resources (except RAM) while maintaining your progress.
Installation Steps

Disclaimer
It’s important to note that modifying running applications can sometimes lead to crashes. While this is uncommon, it’s advisable to always save your data or game progress before using Nyrna to prevent any loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I suspend to disk for after reboot restoration, thereby freeing up RAM?
Unfortunately, as of now, Nyrna does not support this feature. However, CRIU looks promising for Linux users interested in suspending applications. Keep in mind that it currently does not support GUI applications.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you’re experiencing issues on Microsoft Windows, one of the common resolutions is to run Nyrna as an administrator. This often resolves permission-related problems that might hinder performance.

Understanding Nyrna Through Analogy
Picture your computer as a bustling restaurant kitchen. Each application is a chef focused on cooking a particular dish. Normally, all the chefs work simultaneously, creating noise and heat, just as CPU and GPU load increase. When you use Nyrna to ‘suspend’ an application, it’s like asking a chef to take a break—quieting down the kitchen and focusing on the remaining tasks. When you are ready to resume, you let that chef continue cooking right where they left off, ensuring that you don’t lose any progress just like in a gaming session or lengthy task.
