Process Warden Root & Shizuku background app manager

For Root and Shizuku users

The app I wanted and could not find.

Process Warden is not a fake one-tap RAM booster. It is a deliberate tool for killing apps, automating cleanup, managing background restrictions, and keeping your setup easy to restore.

Download the APK from GitHub Releases. The trial starts in the app, and so does the purchase if you decide to keep using it.

Why I made it

I wanted the same kind of control without going back to Root.

I used rooted phones for years. After moving away from rooting everything, I still wanted exact, per-app control and could not find an app that really did it well.

Appzuku was an attempt to fill that gap, but it was not good enough. Process Warden is the rebuild from scratch: the version I would actually want to use and pay for.

Why people keep using it

If you already do this by hand, this makes the day-to-day part easier.

Instead of juggling shell commands and doing the same cleanup over and over, you get one place to handle the jobs you already care about.

01

Manage your apps without losing context

Search, sort, and multi-select installed apps while keeping the list stable. Move between all apps, running apps, off-limits apps, and restricted apps without bouncing through buried menus.

02

Automate the boring part

Run cleanup on a timer, when the screen turns off, or only when RAM gets tight. Set it up once, adjust it when needed, and let it handle the rest.

03

Restrict the apps that refuse to behave

Save a restriction list, reapply it later, verify drift, and temporarily lift selected apps when they need a short exception window.

04

See what it actually did

History, logs, status screens, backups, updates, shortcuts, and recovery tools are all built in, so you can see what happened instead of guessing.

Tasker And MacroDroid

If you already automate your phone, Process Warden fits into that too.

The app exposes automation-friendly actions so you can trigger foreground kills, background kill runs, restriction actions, temporary lift windows, and the built-in automation controls from your own setup.

Before you install

This is the part people should know up front.

The website does not handle checkout. Install it from GitHub Releases, open the app, and start from there. If you keep using it, buying it helps fund updates and maintenance.

FAQ

A few things people usually ask first.

What is Process Warden?

It is a paid Android app for force-stopping apps, automation, background restrictions, and a few related tools.

Is this another RAM booster?

No. It does not pretend to magically fix Android. It gives you exact control over app kills, cleanup, and restrictions.

Do I need Root or Shizuku?

Yes. The core kill and background-restriction features need shell access.

You can check for updates and install them through the app.

Does it work with Tasker or MacroDroid?

Yes. Process Warden exposes automation-friendly actions for kill runs, restriction actions, temporary lifts, and related controls.

What is 80878087.xyz?

It is just the website domain. Process Warden is still the app name.

Can I try it before I buy?

Yes. Download the APK from GitHub Releases, install it, and start the trial from inside the app.
