Close Apps Widget

Easily discover and kill applications running on your phone with this widget.

Application Icon Killer is a widget that helps you identify and close applications running on your phone. This widget will show you icons for all applications or tasks currently running on your device, but will skip system applications and services, to avoid any risk of messing things up when closing them.

With Application Icon Killer you will be able to see your running tasks directly in your home screen and identify them by their icons. Clicking on an icon will display app name, and show three action buttons: Open, Kill and Hide.

Using the "Open" button, you can make an application that is running in the background to be visible again and continue interacting with it. Using the "Kill" button, you can close that running task or application, so that your phone gets more free RAM memory and its processor works faster.

The "Hide" button is intended to stop showing some apps that you never want to kill in this widget. You may need this because you want to keep that application running, or because Android starts the application again every time you kill it (your phone may need that applications running).

When no application icons are selected, you will find three buttons: one allowing to refresh running apps or tasks list, another one allowing you to edit hidden applications list (in case you have hidden an application by mistake) and a third one allowing you to "Kill All" running applications that you haven't hidden before.

Using this widget you will be able to see running applications or tasks just like in desktop computers operating systems, and use the widget as a tasks bar, to be able to open that applications to resume your work or game, or close apps and make your phone work better and faster.

If your phone has Android 3.1 or newer, you will also be able to resize this widget horizontally and vertically, to show more and also bigger application icons.
