Greenify is a highly useful app for Android that helps conserve battery life and improve device performance. It was highly praised by Lifehacker as the top utility in 2013, and even Android Authority recognized it as one of the top three best root apps. With Greenify, you can utilize features like 'Aggressive Doze' and 'Doze on the Go' to extend battery life on Android 6+ devices without needing root access. The app intelligently identifies which apps are draining battery unnecessarily and puts them to sleep when not in use, preventing them from slowing down your device or depleting your battery. Rest assured, hibernated apps will function normally when opened or when other apps require their use.

Greenify does not collect any personal information, despite utilizing the accessibility service. The purpose of this service is solely to hibernate apps automatically. It is important to note that when an app is greenified, its background functions such as services, tasks, alarms, and messages will be disabled unless actively used. Therefore, it is advisable not to greenify alarm clock or messaging apps that are essential to you. It is recommended to assess the impact of greenified apps on those you heavily rely on.

The application requires certain permissions in order to function properly. It utilizes the device administrator privilege to quickly turn off the screen after automatic hibernation on non-rooted devices. The 'draw over other app' permission is used to dim the screen during automatic hibernation. The 'disable screen lock' and 'bind accessibility service' permissions are essential for automatic hibernation on non-rooted devices. Additionally, the app needs the 'get accounts' and 'write sync settings' permissions to manage app synchronization frequency. Accessibility services are also utilized by Greenify to automate the hibernation process.

Greenify offers a donation package for users who wish to support the app and access new experimental features. This package allows you to greenify system apps and monitor how your apps are performing on your device. The app's translations are provided by community members, so feel free to contribute if you'd like. If you come across any bugs, you can report them on either the XDA forum or in the G+ community.
