About this app

A simple task manager for everyday use

In-app purchase can be made to remove ads and unlock features (see below).

This app uses Accessibility services to help you stop apps on non-rooted devices, but will never ever collect any information.

Highly Configurable UI allows you to transform the app into something you really like

Highly Configurable Widgets are all resizable, from a simple gauge to more complex data display and historical graphics.

★ Sort by CPU, memory or network usage.
★ Add home-screen launcher to apps features.
★ Configure UI the way you like it (dark/light, button themes, text size, etc...).
★ See detailed information about running tasks.
★ Pause display.
★ Show system data in widgets (1x1 text and gauge are freely customizable)
★ Kill any apps or kernel processes on rooted devices.
★ Force-stop apps on rooted devices or using Accessibility services.
★ Fill or stop specific apps when screen's turned on or off or under low memory condition.

If rooted or Android lower than Marshmallow (6.0), app can also:
★ View and sort by memory used
★ View kernel processes

3C Companion app (non-rooted users) available here.

If Xposed framework is installed, app can also:
★ Set permanently the Linux's niceness of any process

★ Exploring task's data directory requires root and 3C Explorer (free app).
★ Viewing task's logs requires root and 3C Logs (free app)

NB:
★ Killing doesn't prevent apps from restarting.
★ Some apps are immune to force-stop and will restart anyway. You need the crystallize feature of 3C Toolbox Pro to prevent them from running.

Use in-app purchases to unlock the following features:
★ Remove Ads
★ Advanced UI theming options
★ Automatic auto-kill/stop
★ Add shortcut to notification
★ Enable extra widgets (2x1 text and graphics) customization
★ Enable widget refresh rate configuration

Easy to operate. Simple. Does what I was wanting - gives full control of what I want stopped. No silly spinners making it look like it's doing something like other task mgmt apps. The ads are tolerable, and (so far) are not the full screen ads that lock up my phone for 5 seconds like other apps. Refreshing to see this. I highly recommend this. Great job, developer(s)! Thank you.

Its ultimately the only application I can find that has a very modern Interface that is simple enough for the average Joe to use easily. Happy that it works as well, ive went and checked it's actions that it does and it actually does remove cache, stops applications accordingly, and allows you to choose the particular applications that you want to stop from running. It's not a Fluke. This is the real deal. Thank you 3C developers for this free for any to use app. 5/5

It does what it's supposed to do, but in a very crude way: by calling up the app-management page of each listed process one by one and then force-stopping it, which takes a full few seconds per process. Stopping all can take a minute or more. No way of simply killing some apps without force-stop. Very aggressive with full-screen ads, which cant be closed with Back button. Nags about "helping out development" every third run or so. Could be really awesome, but right now, it's just mediocre.

No other way indeed since Android 6 or so, thanks to limitation imposed by Google. I've just added a screen that will make the whole process better should you let the app draw over other apps. Other than that you won't find any better way of doing it on Android. If you have a PC, try 3C Companion (https://3c71.com/3cc) to get a better experience.
