ProcessKill is a lightweight Shell daemon script for rooted Android devices that periodically scans and kills background processes. It uses memory thresholds, strict blacklists, and foreground protection to manage system resources without aggressively force-closing active applications.

I tested this module to see if it could tame rogue background apps without breaking my daily workflow. Because it actively shields whatever app is currently on your screen and relies on smart memory thresholds, you get better battery life without the annoying app reloads typical of older task killers.

Features

Smart foreground protection ensures the app you are currently using, along with its sub-processes, stays completely safe from accidental closures.
Custom lists support gives you direct control over which specific background apps are forcefully stopped and which are allowed to run freely.
Dynamic hot reloading automatically applies any changes you make to the text configuration files without needing a manual script restart.
Delayed boot startup waits for the Android boot sequence to finish before launching, preventing any interference with core phone services.

Root Requirement: Magisk, KernelSU, or APatch

How to Install
