About NoMoreBackground

A tool to manage which Android apps can run in the background using adb, Shizuku, or root. You probably don't need some random takeaway app doing anything in the background. And maybe you don't want that mobile game wasting your data when you're not using it. NoMoreBackground gives you a list of your apps and lets you choose which of them you want having background permissions, all on one screen, to help you get the most out of your battery. And the best part? When you're done, you can close NoMoreBackground and move on with your life. No need to "optimize" every day like some other tools: set and forget! Tip: Some apps may still run in the background even if you turn them off here.

Privacy and F-Droid

F-Droid builds NoMoreBackground from its published source code and flags anti-features such as ads, tracking or reliance on non-free services.

No anti-features flagged on the latest F-Droid build.
