[What’s Brevent]
There are a lot of apps which claim to prevent apps from running. However, most of them requires ROOT, or do a system modification via Xposed or patching or unlocked bootloader.

Brevent is developed by the original author of Prevent Running, using black technology to app-standby or force-stop apps, prevent apps from running in long time. It doesn’t require ROOT, nor modify system. Furthermore, it may doesn’t work well on ROOT or modified system.

Brevent support Android 5.0 to Android O Preview, requires “USB debugging” in “developer options”. I mainly used it on Google Pixel.
