About Drowser

Drowser force-stops selected Android apps when the screen turns off. It is intended for users who want to prevent chosen apps from continuing to run in the background after they stop using the device. The app uses root access to issue a force-stop command for each selected app. This is a forceful way to stop apps, and the supplied description warns that affected apps may misbehave or lose data. Apps that expect to maintain background work, notifications, or unsaved activity may not respond as intended after being stopped. Drowser requires a rooted device and should be used selectively. It is a background-app control tool, not a general battery optimizer, and force-stopping an app can interrupt its normal operation. Users should avoid selecting apps with unsaved work or important background tasks unless they understand the consequences.
