Apps Manager
Complete control over every app on your device. Freeze, hide, uninstall, and manage permissions without root access using Device Owner mode.
What You Can Do
Freeze Apps
Completely disable apps - they can't run, send notifications, or use resources. Perfect for bloatware and battery drainers.
Hide Apps
Remove apps from your launcher while keeping them installed. Great for privacy and decluttering.
Uninstall System Apps
Remove pre-installed apps you don't want. Requires Device Owner mode.
Manage Permissions
View and control all permissions for every app. See what apps can access.
Freezing Apps
Freezing disables an app completely - it cannot run, receive notifications, or use any system resources.
Browse the app list or use search to find the app you want to freeze
Tap the app to view its information and controls
Hit the "Freeze App" button and confirm the action
The app appears grayed out and won't run until you unfreeze it
Why Freeze Apps?
Save Battery
Stop background apps from draining battery. Freeze social media, games, and bloatware.
Boost Performance
Free up RAM and CPU by freezing resource-heavy apps you don't use often.
Privacy Control
Stop apps from running in the background and collecting data when you're not using them.
Troubleshooting
Temporarily freeze apps to determine if they're causing issues or conflicts.

App Details Tabs
When you open an app, you'll see three tabs with different information:
Info Tab
The Info tab shows comprehensive details about the app, including version, package name, installation date, storage usage, and available actions. This is where you can:
- View app size, data, and cache storage
- See installation and last update times
- Check the app's version and target SDK
- Access freeze, hide, and clear data options
- View the app's package name and UID
Permissions Tab
The Permissions tab displays all permissions requested by the app. You can see which permissions are granted or denied, and quickly identify apps with excessive or suspicious permission requests. This helps you understand what data and features each app can access.
- Dangerous Permissions - Camera, location, contacts, storage, etc.
- Normal Permissions - Internet, vibrate, wake lock, etc.
- Permission Status - Granted or denied for each permission
- Quick Access - Jump to Android's permission manager to modify
Activities Tab
The Activities tab lists all activities (screens) defined by the app. This is useful for advanced users who want to launch specific app screens directly or understand the app's structure. You can:
- See all exported and internal activities
- Launch specific activities directly (useful for hidden settings)
- Identify which activities are enabled or disabled
- Access deep-linked screens that aren't normally visible
