Shappky

What is Shappky?

Shappky, short for Shell App Killer, is an app that stops background applications using either Shizuku or Root permissions, improving device performance, reducing memory usage, and lowering heat in a lightweight and safe way.

How does Shappky work?

Shappky relies heavily on shell commands to identify and kill applications. You can read more about it here: how_shappky_works.md

Shappky Service

The Shappky background service runs in the background to automatically stop active apps once enabled. General service options can be customized, though app-killing rules are not customizable within the service itself.

Note: You can create a Service Trigger to customize app-killing rules if you want full control over the service behavior.

Triggers

Triggers come in two types:

1. Profile trigger: This trigger must be executed manually, allowing you to select a specific group of apps.
2. Service trigger: This lets you create and customize a background service using available rules, with automatic enable/disable options based on those rules.
