‘WeKillBackground Pro’ makes killing apps a walk in the park

Jeff Benjamin, Feb 9, 2012

WeeKillBackground Pro is a very robust app management tweak that allows you to kill all backgrounded apps in one fell swoop.

Residing in iOS 5′s Notification Center, WeeKillBackground Pro is always at your fingertips when you want to quickly kill all of your running and/or backgrounded apps.

But that’s not all, this tweak lives up to its “pro” designation by featuring a generous helping of options along with its basic settings. Check inside for the full scoop…

WeeKillBackground Pro features customization options for the look and feel of the Notification Center widget, along with font options to change the wording, text size, and text color.

There’s also a dedicated section made solely for excluding certain apps from being killed, and a Extras section to do things like automatic killing once Notification Center is closed.

At $0.99 on Cydia’s BigBoss repo, WeeKillBackground Pro is a modestly priced solution with a ton of options, which will surely please all but the toughest critics.

    KillBackground is better. Faster killing and stuff. Try it out and it’s free. +

    I still think “KillBackground” is better. =P

    My notification center is getting so full! Lol: I’m still using “RemoveBackground” via SBSettings but I may give this a shot. I like how much you can customize it. Thanks Jeff

      yeah my Notification Centre is also getting full with tweaks etc. However I use this tweak with IntelliScreenX Top Shelf setting.

        I too have intelliscreen x, but I don’t have an option to kill all apps..is it an add on or something?

    @1.41 yeah, that’s why I prefer using zephyr with two fingers for left and right swipes.

      apple prefers you to use four fingers…oh so innovative.

    Very nice, if you like to play with a lot of unnecessary stuff or with things that don’t make your iPhone any better. Either KillBackground or Remove Background do the job quite well for free.

      every 50 uses of KillBackground will beg you to pay for it

        OK then use Remove Background. I’ve been using it for free for over a year now. Thanks for the tip, I never used it for more than 2 or 3 days.

    Works like a charm. I would recommend this to the fullest!!!

    with respect and not wanting to sound rude, what a load of crap. RemoveBG may not have all the bells and whistles of Alpha Settings and the like but that’s because it doesn’t need it. One activator setting, a short hold on the power button, or whatever else the user chooses, kills all apps and even has an exception option. This tweak is yet another pointless duplicate and as it’s not free it is not a solution for me.

    nice, I’ll probably use this in tandem with killbackground

    • http://twitter.com/blakestuhh Blake

      It’s pretty much the same

    I used it with Zephyr to avoid using my home button alot. And I can say I’m satisfied. It also has a timer that you could adjust every 0.5 up to 120 minutes to kill all the apps on the switcher automatically, pretty nice.
