When you work on a laptop, you might need to frequently change your power plans, depending on the time of day or the battery level.

The application is a portable one, meaning you do not need to install it on your computer in order to benefit from its feature-set.
You can simply keep it on a removable USB flash drive, and run it on any laptop you are currently working on do you can change to a different power plan.

Explore available power plans

The user-friendly main window of Switch Power Scheme displays all the currently available power plans on your computer, so you can choose which one you currently need.
The default ones are Balanced, High performance, Power saver and Ultimate performance that can be altered as you see fit.

Integrates within the context menu

Another useful function of this application is that you do not need to keep it open at all times, and get a cluttered taskbar.
Instead, you can integrate Switch Power Scheme into the context menu of Windows so all options are within reach at all times.
