Ice Box use cases
Apps you rarely use stay on your phone, yet they quietly run in the background, take up home screen space and send notifications. Ice Box can lock them away and let them out when you need them.
- Stop background appsPut the apps you rarely use in Ice Box, and they can't start or run in the background, or drain battery and data there.
- Disable bloatwarePre-installed system apps that can't be uninstalled can still be frozen, and you don't need root to do it.
- Hide apps from the home screenFrozen apps disappear from the home screen and the app drawer. Then add a fingerprint lock to Ice Box.
- Freeze games and short video appsFreeze the apps that distract you, and defrost them when you want them. One extra step means one more chance to choose.
- Freeze work apps after hoursFreeze work apps when you finish work and defrost them when you start the next day. Keep work and life apart.
- Automation and developer integrationFreeze automatically when the screen turns off, use one-tap home screen actions, or let other apps freeze through Ice Box with the SDK.
Not sure if Ice Box is right for you?#
Ice Box fits this situation well: you have some apps you need now and then and don't want to uninstall, but you don't want them running in the background or sitting on your home screen the rest of the time.
If an app needs to keep working in the background, such as a chat app that must receive messages in real time, an alarm clock or navigation, it is not a good candidate for freezing.
