About this app

Featured as Lifehacker's Top 1 Utility in 2013 Best Android Apps (http://goo.gl/1VMwnE), Android Authority's Top 3 Best Root Apps (http://goo.gl/g0L0qZ).

"Aggressive Doze" and "Doze on the Go" to maximize the battery saving on Android 6+, even without root! (details explained in settings)

Never should your phone or tablet become slower and battery hungrier after lots of apps installed. With Greenify, your device can run almost as smoothly and lastingly as it did the first day you had it!

Greenify help you identify and put the misbehaving apps into hibernation when you are not actively using them, to stop them from lagging your device or leeching the battery, in a unique way! They can do nothing without explicit launch by you or other apps, while still preserving full functionality when running in foreground.

Please report bugs in the XDA forum (http://goo.gl/ZuLDnE) or G+ community (http://goo.gl/MoszF).

Greenify NEVER EVER collects your personal data despite the capability of accessibility service, it just takes advantage of it to automate the hibernation procedure.

IMPORTANT: Greenifying an app implies that you are aware that all the background functionality (service, periodic task, event receiver, alarm, widget update, push message) of this app will become out of service during the hibernation except when you are using this app.

NEVER greenify alarm clock apps, instant messaging apps unless you don't rely on them. Please do verify the impact of greenified apps on which you heavily rely.

Note: Greenify does need background running services for auto-hibernation to work. It is designed and implemented in extremely lightweight and nearly zero CPU and battery consumption.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent app, but agree with others that it probably is in need of an update. Borks after a while and needs resetting in Accessibility Services (hopefully can be addressed in a future update), but other than that, it's the best of the app closure devices. And though I probably didn't need it, I upgraded to premium, if for nothing else, to show some love to the developer. Recommended. Update: abandonware?

No longer works with Android 9-14 even though it says it is does. Once I had switched to a newer phone, the donation package is no longer compatible. No new updates since 2019... Have to force every app to close manually and it still fights me to close apps. Unfortunately no one has made anything similar to this app. It really needs to be updated and reworked for the newer phones.

I love this app and do own the upgrade. The upgraded version is worth every penny. It's essential to keep my devices running at peak performance. Thank you for this fantastic app. I changed phones and this app does not perform at its optimal level. They do state this. I still love it but am very disappointed. I may end up having to disable it.
