Greenify Greenify lets you put background apps into hibernation so they stay static and save battery when you’re not using them. Uses Aggressive Doze/Doze on the Go on Android 6+ without root. Misbehaving apps can be tamed.

Greenify

Greenify is a utility for Android that puts background apps into hibernation so they stop draining your battery when you’re not actively using them. In practice, hibernating an app means it’s temporarily taken “offline” until you bring it back to the foreground. As long as you don’t start it manually, the app remains frozen and won’t consume battery.

Because of this, you should never hibernate apps that need to run continuously—such as alarm apps or instant messaging services. For most other apps, hibernation is helpful because their background activity often doesn’t add much value beyond wasting power.

Tips for Users

Understand app behavior

Before you hibernate an app, check what it needs to do in the background. Some apps—especially alarms and messaging apps—may rely on constant operation. Hibernating them could interfere with their main functionality.

Check how it affects important apps

If you depend on a particular app, test how hibernation changes its behavior. Some apps may not work correctly or may not deliver push notifications after being greenified.

Report bugs and help with translations

If you run into any issues or want to support better translations, you can report bugs on the XDA forum or the G+ community. You can also contribute translations using the link provided in the app.
