About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

Does this app really work or does it just show the hibernation processes currently running on the phone. Clearly indeed such apps no longer work since Android 12 without root access. On that note I'll freeze this app to see if there is any significant battery drain as claimed by the other user. If so expect a better edit review.

takes a long time loading or should i say it takes forever to load i have to disable and enable back wireless debugging or sometimes it just doesn't want to work. please fix it so i can change my review

i installed this app at first for the sake of shell it has, but then i realized it saved me hours of battery time. and i only noticed the difference after removing the app.
