Article updated for v2.0.6.


One of the cool features of Rambox is that you can configure each app to hibernate/sleep after a certain amount of inactivity time, and since v1.5.0, we have added the possibility to start the apps hibernated.

This will help you to free memory if the app is not being used for a while, but we do not recommend using this feature in Email or Messaging apps which are constantly checking in the background if there is a new email or message for you.


To use this feature, you have to go to the settings of the app. You right-click on the app, go to "Settings" and you will find the option above the "Advanced" section.


When you add them, all apps are set to hibernate after 15 minutes by default. Some special apps like those related with Messaging and Email have the hibernation disabled.


Note: If, at the moment of hibernation, the app is playing audio, hibernation is prevented.


In case that the app hibernates automatically, you will see a screen like the following. Note that in the right-bottom corner you have a switch which helps you to quickly prevent that app from hibernating.
