More About 3C Task Manager

A simple task manager for everyday use
In-app purchase can be made to remove ads and unlock features (see below).

This app uses Accessibility services to help you stop apps on non-rooted devices, but will never ever collect any information.

★ Highly Configurable UI allows you to transform the app into something you really like

★ Highly Configurable Widgets are all resizable, from a simple gauge to more complex data display and historical graphics.

★ Sort by CPU, memory or network usage.
★ Add home-screen launcher to apps features.
★ Configure UI the way you like it (dark/light, button themes, text size, etc...).
★ See detailed information about running tasks.
★ Pause display.
★ Show system data in widgets (1x1 text and gauge are freely customizable)
★ Kill any apps or kernel processes on rooted devices.
★ Force-stop apps on rooted devices or using Accessibility services.
★ Fill or stop specific apps when screen's turned on or off or under low memory condition.

If rooted or Android lower than Marshmallow (6.0), app can also:
★ View and sort by memory used
★ View kernel processes

3C Companion app (non-rooted users) available here.

If Xposed framework is installed, app can also:
★ Set permanently the Linux's niceness of any process

★ Exploring task's data directory requires root and 3C Explorer (free app).
★ Viewing task's logs requires root and 3C Logs (free app)

NB:
★ Killing doesn't prevent apps from restarting.
★ Some apps are immune to force-stop and will restart anyway. You need the crystallize feature of 3C Toolbox Pro to prevent them from running.

★ Remove Ads
★ Advanced UI theming options
★ Automatic auto-kill/stop
★ Add shortcut to notification

I don't want to come back from auto kill screen off and see the apps being turned off then, something to help it just say in a flash what apps were killed (optionally) without being slowed down and having to wait for the remaining tasked apps to run it's course when I turn on to check my device.

While other task managers require complex workarounds to get the necessary permissions, this one just works. Bravo! I'd love to see at least a bit prettier UI with real-time graphs, though.

I love this one and would like to remove the ads. But when trying it ("Unlock features"), only a very thin horizontal line appears on the screen, so there's nothing to click or choose to go on and pay for an upgrade. Pity. 😟

Used to work great, been using this app for a year or more. Opening the app today, I was greeted with a pop-up about showing ads that doesn't go away unless you buy. Nope, this isn't the way. Uninstalled.

100x better than any other bs app that does nothing other than drain more CPU/RAM and spam ads. Closest thing to the OG Samsung Task Manager you can get now from what i've seen, identifies everything that's running and just hit the x to force stop or the x at the top to force-stop everything. Ez

Stars taken away, see end of review. Was 5 stars... My Go-to task manager for all things Android. 3C has some other really great apps too but watch for redundancy. Also some features only function if you have root. After March 2022 Android 12 update: 3C Task Manager started to close apps very, very slowly until it will finally just stall out completely. Please fix it.

I happen to enjoy trying to figure out what I can do with the entire 3C family. I seem to discover some new capability each time I log in and, considering how much I have always been a huge fan of technology, I am right at home here. My only issue is the fact that, in order to perform the more interesting tasks, I am required to purchase the so-called "Pro" version. Aside from that, I have no problem finding plenty else to do.

Its ultimately the only application I can find that has a very modern Interface that is simple enough for the average Joe to use easily. Happy that it works as well, ive went and checked it's actions that it does and it actually does remove cache, stops applications accordingly, and allows you to choose the particular applications that you want to stop from running. It's not a Fluke. This is the real deal. Thank you 3C developers for this free for any to use app. 5/5

Easy to operate. Simple. Does what I was wanting - gives full control of what I want stopped. No silly spinners making it look like it's doing something like other task mgmt apps. The ads are tolerable, and (so far) are not the full screen ads that lock up my phone for 5 seconds like other apps. Refreshing to see this. I highly recommend this. Great job, developer(s)! Thank you.

i purchased this app immediatly after installing it. but it is very slow when force closing apps. it takes atleast 10sec to close one app and for closing all included apps, i need to wait longer period of time. but when i force close this "3c task manager" app, and start it again then it works fine. but after some time same problem occurs. I already given battery optimisation exclusion to this app. This is a good app but needs to fix this issue.

seems to work, but it didn't resolve my issue. sometimes my phone starts to get hot while seemingly doing nothing. I wanted to check what app does that, but there were no huge load. maybe u can tell me how to find the issue? btw, for what reason there's the xposed module? what it does? I gave it root and it seems enough. Is there a way to prove that the app don't do any harm with root access?

It does what it's supposed to do, but in a very crude way: by calling up the app-management page of each listed process one by one and then force-stopping it, which takes a full few seconds per process. Stopping all can take a minute or more. No way of simply killing some apps without force-stop. Very aggressive with full-screen ads, which cant be closed with Back button. Nags about "helping out development" every third run or so. Could be really awesome, but right now, it's just mediocre.

I often have some errant app that just simply freezes up on me, or just gives me really strange results. 3C Task Manager quickly, and easily kills even the most ornery apps. I have a dual screen phone, so getting to 3C Task Manager to kill some crazy app is super easy. I recommend getting a dual screen phone. Life is so much better.

2025/04/25 A task killer worth paying for. I manually use it daily to clear out all the background apps slowing my LG G7 down. Can be set per app, so ones you never want killed will stay running.

it's rubish now, ads are being constantly displayed to the point this app is intrusive and has taken control over my phone....who knows what else is doing in background, unninstalled ...stay away if you don't want to get hacked....!

The best of three task killers used. Many settings to figure out. Purchased permanent ad elimination because they're a nuisance and to support development. Responsive developer, pre-purchase.

I'm sorry I ever said anything negative or nagging about your app, I've just spent enormous amount of time to find that 99% of "similar" apps, the prettier they look, the less they do, and most are just pretty bubbles of info, lol, no action can be taken, nor do they give any specific details. This is the actual real-deal, where you can actually see what's running and do something about it. Trully appreciate your work! I was terribly wrong before.

Edit - all it needed was a phone reboot. All good! {I'm sure it will be fixed but latest version at time of writing on S24 android 15 not-rooted it goes thru the motions bringing each app info page up but doesn't stop them. It gets stuck on the last app info page too.}
