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

This app is kinda tricky in terms of all these rock paintings (hearts, clouds and other symbols), but it works like a charm if set up well. I've brevented a bunch of apps who used to relaunch themselves in the bg all the time, and it seems like my device started running smoother. It was usually 2-3 of 8 gb of RAM available, and now it's 4-4.7 which is great. UPD: Been testing for a week. It's awesome. My phone flies like a rocket and no longer overheats. This app is A MUST!

Brevent is an outstanding Android app for controlling background processes and improving overall device performance. After using it,I noticed better battery life, reduced heating, and smoother performance. It effectively prevents unnecessary apps from running in the background without affecting important notifications. The interface is clean, lightweight, and free from ads. Although the initial setup may feel a bit technical, once configured it works flawlessly. Brevent is a must-have app for us

I really like this app but why it takes too long to load plss fix if u can🥲 my phone is midrange
