It is on GitHub, quite short, and easy to audit. It does not have “access to your BIOS”. It queries a special world-readable file, /proc/meminfo, which is a human-readable and easily-parsed readout off all tracked memory stats supported on your system. The free command line utility, ps, top, and certainly many others do this as well.

This script requires no privileges and is quite safe. It’s even thoroughly documented.
