Close Running Apps When the Device Locks
Auto Close centers its workflow on closing background apps when the phone is locked. Once the required service and usage access are enabled, users can turn on Auto close service and let the utility handle the routine without returning to the app each time. The home screen also presents an Optimize button for moments when users want to start a cleanup manually.
A memory-use percentage and used-memory figure keep the main action easy to understand at a glance. This design suits people who frequently switch between many apps and prefer a repeatable device-lock habit instead of opening a separate process manager for every cleanup.
Review Memory Use and Closing History
The Home tab brings the main controls into one list, including the auto-close service, notification clearing, auto start, running apps, and the whitelist. Users can see memory use before choosing an action, then move to the History tab to review the most recent closing result. The history view reports the amount cleared and lists any apps handled by the last operation.
This separation between action and record keeping makes the utility easier to follow. A user can return to the home controls for another pass or consult the latest history when checking whether a cleanup affected any apps, without searching through Android's broader battery and application menus.
Protect Important Apps with the Whitelist
Some background apps need to remain available for messages, alarms, navigation, or other ongoing tasks. Auto Close provides a White List screen where users can add exceptions that should be skipped during a close operation. The Running apps entry supports the opposite task by showing which apps are currently active, helping users decide what should be managed and what should remain protected.
The whitelist uses a simple add button and an uncluttered list, so exceptions can be maintained without building complex rules. This is especially useful for users who want regular cleanup while preserving a small set of essential apps that should continue working between phone-lock cycles.
Configure Notifications, Startup, and Service Controls
Auto Close includes separate switches for clearing notifications at device lock and starting the utility when the device boots. These controls let users shape the routine around their own habits: one person may only want automatic app closing, while another may prefer the service to return after every restart and also remove ordinary notifications during the lock workflow.
The More tab groups supporting controls such as Settings, FAQ, About, update checking, feedback, and developer support in one place. Keeping these options outside the main cleanup screen reduces clutter while still making maintenance and help easy to find, which is useful for a lightweight system tool that users may configure once and revisit only occasionally.
