What Squalr is

Squalr is open-source software for editing memory in single-player PC games to develop cheats and support modding workflows. It scans and modifies memory in running processes, with multithreading and SIMD used for faster scans, and can analyze program behavior over time. Scanning covers primitive values, arrays, strings, structs, and pointers; the project also lists a struct viewer and project system. Its desktop app offers process selection, a memory viewer, project files, symbol layouts, and plugin-backed tools. Squalr is also available as a terminal tool, an Android app, and Rust crates for custom scanning, integrations, and automation. The CLI can provide a JSON HTTP control surface for health checks, commands, and event polling. Plugins extend tools, data types, instruction providers, binary symbols, and Dolphin memory-view routing. Windows downloads are listed for Windows 7, 8, and 10 in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. On macOS, process access may require disabling system sandboxing protections and elevated permissions; the documented Android GUI path requires a rooted device and Android SDK and NDK setup.

Good

  • Open-source and free
  • Scans primitives, arrays, strings, structs, and pointers
  • Available as desktop app, terminal tool, Android app, and Rust crates
  • CLI supports JSON HTTP automation controls

Watch out

  • No stable public scripting surface yet
  • Android GUI requires a rooted device
  • macOS process access may require disabling protections
  • No debugger

Who it suits

Squalr is for people developing cheats or modding single-player PC games, as well as developers building custom scanning or automation workflows with its Rust crates or CLI. Its documented Android interface is aimed at users who can provide a rooted device and SDK/NDK setup.

Verdict

Squalr offers several ways to inspect and change process memory, from a desktop app to Rust libraries and CLI automation. Check the platform-specific requirements and the lack of a stable scripting interface before choosing it.
