Autostarts - Block apps from starting automaticall

Autostarts lists the apps on an Android device that ask to be started by the system rather than by the user. It groups them by the event that triggers them, with boot completion as the most familiar case, so it becomes visible which installed apps come back to life on their own after a restart and which stay idle until tapped.

Beyond inspection, the app can disable individual entries, which stops the selected app from responding to that particular trigger. An app treated this way still works when opened by hand; it simply no longer wakes itself in the background. This makes the tool useful for tracking down background activity on a device with a long list of installed apps.

Autostarts is an Android-only utility with no desktop or web component, and it is distributed under the GPL-3.0-only license.
