Brevent, black prevent, can app-standby (since Android 6.0, not supported on some devices) or force-stop apps without root, prevent apps from running in long time.

Brevent never brevent apps not in Bervent list. If apps are launched then quit (tapping Back or so), Brevent will app-standby them; if apps timed out in standby, or swiped from recents screen, Brevent will force-stop them. Whenever apps are running without activity, Brevent will force-stop them.

Apps in Brevent list can be set "allow sync" to receive notifications or do sync jobs. Brevent won't standby "allow sync" apps, and Brevent won't force-stop "allow sync" apps with notifications or running in background.

Brevent supports Android 6 to Android 16, requires "USB debugging" or "Wireless debugging" (since Android 11) in "developer options".

In Android 8 - Android 10, Brevent won't work if debugging is off or USB option is changed. If debugging turns off when you unplug the cable, please change USB option. Normally, it's OK to keep USB option as default.

for some reasons I tried this multiple times and it's just showing a screen saying "fake: signature" what is that ??? I want to use the app so bad everyone is talking about it

The best app ever, I don't know why it has a low rating, maybe considering that it lacks support in some browsers like firefox and zen. It is just a small issue though, the app was a little tricky to set up if you don't understand adb and usb debugging, but hey it works pretty well in my device with no root. Overall, this app greatly impacted the way my phone performs in terms of reduced latency:) But I would be even happier if it supports Firefox based browsers and be willing to for it.

Using this app is bit cumbersome process. After every half an hour I have to open the app to keep. It working, Otherwise I have to start wireless debugging again, And if i switch between wi-fis, wireless debugging is stopped, then again I have to start app. Idea was good but implementation of idea is not good. Please make some changes to make it more practical. And usage guide is mentioned anywhere. It's like puzzle solving

This app *might* be really good, but the design & UI is so unbelievably confused & unnecessarily complicated, that it's actually impossible to tell if it's doing what's expected (viz. stopping background processes). You need to overhaul the app design & interface to simplify & streamline user interaction. Greenify is reasonably simple: an app either is or isnt 'greenified' whereas it's almost impossible to tell if an app is 'brevented' because there are so many confusing lists, icons, status...

DEVELOPER PLEASE READ: Your app is not compatible with Lineage OS. I have determined that it blocks the Lock Screen or something to that extent, which makes the phone totally unusable and slow (it took me 2 solid minutes to unlock my phone with my finger print). I request that you address this issue, but its your app so you can choose not to. Otther than that, I really enjoyed it, 5/5. If it works I will pay for the root option.

I am writing to seek assistance regarding some issues I am encountering with Brevent. When I click on "Wireless Debugging," no notification appears on my phone, making it difficult to proceed. Additionally, my phone does not support split-screen functionality, which limits my ability to use certain features. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve these concerns or any alternative methods that may be available.

I don't get this it's so confusing. It says apps with allow sync will not be brevented but how do we choose those apps? There's literally no other way to pick specific apps I want to brevent. There's premade list that I can't enabled or disabled. UI is very bad compared to greenify. I don't even know if this is working or not. Can't you just copy greenify's UI? It's dead anyway. The creator won't mind.

Doesn't work, tried on x100 ultra, gave it all permission and set the most aggressive with the shortest amount of time options for Facebook and messenger. It closed then a few times but most of the time they can run in background with no issue, at the time of typing this they have 40 mins uptime.
