Amazing app. I recently created swap with a non-root account and needed to see if it was being used. this is the only app that I know of that actually reports swap. Also, I'm able to see swap on Android 14 using usb wireless debug pairing mode to set up Shizuku. I thought I read that only root can see swap. unless something else is wrong, I see swap just fine.

Very nice app, useful to know what is happening on the phone. I love the status options or watchers... useful information on the notifications. I purchased first Permission Manager X, great app, the best to control permissions, and got this app that works also integrated with Permission Manager X. Please keep both apps great.

Nothing in the whole Playstore comes close to this app, I know because I've been looking for anything even close to this forever and anything thats even sorta similar is severely lacking in comparison to Whats Running! Love it, lookin forward to hopefully what will be continued future updates and development by the developer of their fantastic app!
