App process manager for mobile

App Freezer is a free utility tool for mobile devices from developer Real Zhang. This is an app manager that can help users manage application processes and control how they operate. With it, they can restrict them from running in the background indefinitely or as long as they need.

Compared to similar tools like Task Manager, App Freezer has a more simplistic feature set that focuses solely on process management. It ensures that applications can only run when needed, so they don’t consume unnecessary system resources or contribute to increased battery usage that can lead to shorter runtimes.

Better app control

Over the course of using our smartphone or tablet, there will come a point when it will start to slow down and feel laggy with too many running applications. You can remedy this by closing the app in question, but some relaunch themselves without you even knowing. Enter, App Freezer, a utility to help manage those persistent programs that keep opening and running in the background.

There are three ways that this program works, with the first one being Freeze One, which lets you restrict a single app from opening and running in the background—ideal for a specific misbehaving application. The nest is called Freeze All, which as its name suggests will let you do the same for every app on your devices with just a button.

Now, should you want to revert any or all of your apps to their default state and allow them to run in the background uninhibited again, use the Defrost App function. Just one important thing to note before proceeding. This tool will not work with devices running the MIUI overlay and Xiaomi products in general. If that is the case for you, consider other options instead.

Simple yet handy

To summarize, if you’re having problems with apps that keep persistently running in the background, consuming resources and battery, give App Freezer a try to help sort it out. It’s easy to use and can work on a specific application or all of them. Just be aware of the limitation mentioned above, and it’s a simple yet handy tool to have around.
