Feature request for auto force stop

[TowelieTheTowel420]

Would like an auto force stop for apps that are cached in background. I.e. like apps running that aren't being used or running with like a select button to select certain apps to force stop or an app ignore list for certain apps. Would be nice

Hm, not sure if in scope. SD Maid is not a "task killer". You can manually force-stop apps via AppControl already though. I don't see a good way to make this automatic though and I'm not sure whether it's a good think to add.

Are you looking for something like this?

No not really I just wanna force stop certain apps that are cached in background and didn't fully shut off ie like YouTube so I didn't have to open app settings to force stop. Cause it's battery usage pulling on battery in background ImmortalTowel Sent from Proton Mail Android

I would also vote for such a improvement. Some current running apps will never cleaned with sdmaid-se e.g. Playstore and the Play Services App and this cause always trouble, when you payed for an app and you always loose the premium features as you payed for. In such cases you must kill both, clear cache and sometimes their data and restart the Playstore App, then is all fine and you never lost again the payed premium for this app. Unfortunately, SDMaid SE don't note anything that such a app couldn't be cleaned, it seems that all is fine, but it isn't 😔

Isn't "Auto" mean adding somekind of service to monitor that (continuesly)? That service alone will eat battery. Then doing its actual job in stopping apps that you use will eat battery than just let the target app Sleeping in background (for quick start etc.)

Apps like Youtube, Gplay, or Gplay Service Framework usually System Apps. Stopping apps like that is useless as they designed to always Wake Up. It means continues (try to) Stopping, eating even more battery.

The answer to no caches and no battery drain is Disable or Uninstall I believe.

@TowelieTheTowel420 This is what you're looking for

Its not automated in that app but you can choose "close multiple", select the apps you want to close.
It will automatically bring them up one after another but you still have to manually press the "force close" button and then the back button to close it, and the next will pop up
