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

personally it's very good but there's always a problem, it's always stuck at retrieving process status, I let it sit for like 10 minutes still nothing, and so did commands, the icon just kept spinning and never executing the commands

I keep stuck at the retrieve process for a few minutes, I tried several attempts if it's just a bug or what but it still ends up the same thing, please fix it.

Honestly this works great. I don’t get why it has so many bad reviews. It actually stopped all those annoying apps that kept running and starting on their own in the background. My phone feels way better now.
