Memory Boost is designed with one goal in mind: Simplicity and transparency. Unlike complex "cleaner" apps that make vague promises, Memory Boost provides a straightforward way to manage background applications based on actual Android system behavior.

Key Features:

- Targeted App Management: Identifies and terminates background processes of apps used within the last 24 hours to reclaim available memory (RAM) effectively.
- Cache Visibility & Manual Optimization: See the estimated cache size for each identified app. Due to Android's system policies, third-party apps cannot automatically delete other apps' cache. Memory Boost provides direct shortcuts to each app's System Settings, allowing you to manually clear the cache for a deeper, more effective clean.
- Custom Exclusion List: You decide what stays running. Easily add your favorite music players or essential messaging apps to the exclusion list to prevent them from being closed.
- Safe Execution: For your device's stability, essential system apps are automatically protected and will never be terminated.
- Direct System Access: Need more control? From the results list, you can jump directly to any app's system settings to manually restrict its background activity, clear its cache, or manage data usage for long-term optimization.
- Instant Feedback: See exactly how many apps were managed and how much memory was freed after every operation.
- Lightweight & Privacy-Focused: No heavy background battery drain and no unnecessary permissions. Just a tool that does exactly what it says.

How to use:

1. Open the app and tap the Boost button.
2. The app identifies apps that have been active in the last 24 hours and shows their current cache usage.
3. Review the results. If you see an app consuming significant cache, use the shortcut to go directly to its System Settings.
4. Manually select "Clear Cache" for a thorough, system-level optimization that automatic tools cannot reach. ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES` - `android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS` - `android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.memory_boost.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [RAM Booster - Clean & Optimize](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ishan.shakti.peeth) — 1,531 users - [Memory Cleaner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cleandata.datacleans.cleanmemory) — 108,342 users, 4.26 / 5 - [Cleaner Boost](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.an.cleanmaster.clearboost) — 10,063 users - [Boost Cleaner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.boostcleaner.phone.clean) — 22,089 users, 3.79 / 5 - [CacheClear Pro](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.scscm.cd) — 1,196 users - [Lympia](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cascaranosoft.cachecleaner) — 65,543 users, 3.89 / 5 - [AppKILL - Force RAM Recovery](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tcw.appkill) — 34 users - [Cache Cleaner: Free Up Space](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.vanillastudio.cachecleaner) — 71 users - [Speed Cleaner - Junk & Cache](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.speedcleaner.clean) — 782,189 users, 4.21 / 5 - [System Booster - Clean Master](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.raintor.systemboosterapp) — 123 users - [Optimization Master](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.lxyd.optimization) — 19,722 users, 3.75 / 5 - [Limpiador de Móvil Optimizador](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kiki.optimizadorpro) — 223 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.memory_boost)
