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 13, requires "USB debugging" or "Wireless debugging" (since Android 11) in "developer options".

In Android 8 - Android 14, 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.

For command, please visit https://brevent.sh

DEVELOPER PLEASE READ: Your app is not compatible with Lineage OS. I have determined that it blocks the Lock Screen or something to that extent, which makes the phone totally unusable and slow (it took me 2 solid minutes to unlock my phone with my finger print). I request that you address this issue, but its your app so you can choose not to. Otther than that, I really enjoyed it, 5/5. If it works I will pay for the root option.

It actually took me a bit of figuring out to determine what this app really was used for as its primary feature. Then I realized when the server is running in the background you are able to use this app to not only disable or put to sleep any process or service running on your device, but it also is capable of monitoring and determining what apps are not needed and are wasting battery in the background. But the fact that it allows you to perform functions that typically require adb shell.

I am writing to seek assistance regarding some issues I am encountering with Brevent. When I click on "Wireless Debugging," no notification appears on my phone, making it difficult to proceed. Additionally, my phone does not support split-screen functionality, which limits my ability to use certain features. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve these concerns or any alternative methods that may be available.
