Prevent apps from running in the background

Features & Capabilities

Brevent is an Android utility designed to prevent apps from running in the background unnecessarily. Supporting Android versions 6 through 16, it leverages app-standby and force-stop features without requiring root access. Users can manage apps in a whitelist to allow syncing and notifications, while Brevent automatically standby or force-stop inactive apps to save battery and boost performance.

To function properly, Brevent requires developer options enabled, specifically USB debugging or wireless debugging on newer Android versions. It intelligently handles app activity, force-stopping apps without active use unless explicitly allowed. For detailed commands and setup instructions, visit the official Brevent website at https://brevent.sh.
