resumd
a recent apps overlay for rooted android tv
---
## what it does
resumd gives you a clean, cyberpunk-styled recent apps menu on android tv. stock android tv removed the ability to see and manage recent apps from third-party launchers. resumd brings it back - with root.
- **view recent apps** - see what's running in the background
- **quick switch** - tap to launch, hold for options
- **pin apps** - protect apps from "close all"
- **close apps** - force stop and remove from recents
- **close all** - nuke everything (except pinned)
- **grid or row mode** - your choice
- **custom trigger** - hold back, double-tap menu, whatever you want
---
## requirements
- **rooted android tv** (magisk recommended)
- android 9+ (tested on android 15 / lineageos 22)
the app uses `su -c dumpsys activity recents` to read recent apps and `su -c am force-stop` to close them. without root, these commands are blocked.
