## Description

App Freezer helps you freeze (disable) unwanted Android apps and preinstalled bloatware on rooted or non-root devices. By disabling unused apps, you can reduce background activity, save battery, free RAM, and keep your device cleaner and more organized. It supports many devices (Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Huawei, OnePlus and more) and works on ROOTED and NON-ROOT devices using Android Device Administrator mode.

Key features include one-tap freeze/unfreeze, export/import of frozen lists (XML), favorites, smart filters, home screen widgets, and fingerprint authentication. Advanced options for rooted devices allow viewing app details, launching or uninstalling packages. Non-root setup guidance and a detailed setup link are provided. Privacy-conscious design means no data collected beyond anonymous crash reports.
