Usage Timelines Free (v. 1.8.1) Разработано Dr. Achim Leubner |
Usage Timelines is a CPU and process monitor with graphical load history. It shows you when & which app overloads your phones cpu so you can stop it.
A trial version is available at http://trials.refined-apps.com/UsageTimelinesPro-release.apk
For questions, remarks, suggestions or feedback mail us at support@refined-apps.com
For an add-free version see "Usage Timelines Pro" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.als.usagetimelines.pro)
---- Features ------------
✓ Extended cpu load history as notification in the notification bar (like xload/windows task manager)
✓ Process listing
✓ Cpu and memory usage of processes (similar to "top" or windows task manager)
✓ Processes can be terminated and uninstalled
✓ Works without rooting
✓ Very low power usage
✓ Supports English and German
---- Power Consumption ------------
Some remarks about power consumption and performance (percent values are for an HTC Desire).
✓ tl;dr
Set your update intervals as high as acceptable for you. Power consumption should be fine then.
Shorter update intervals lead to higher power consumption since the values are updated more often.
You may also use it just when you experience problems and turn off the notification otherwise.
✓ Usage Timelines has been highly optimized (e.g. the history notification uses 0%-1% of the cpu power with an update interval of 2 seconds if the screen is on).
✓ If everything is fine, Usage Timelines should be the app in the app list that uses most cpu since all other apps should be paused by android. That's normal and expected behavior.
✓ Displaying the process list needs some additional power, especially if you are working with the app (e.g. scrolling). Without scrolling etc. thisis about 1-2% for an 5 seconds update interval. If the process list is not shown (e.g. while you are using another app), the process list does not use any cpu power.
✓ If the screen is off, only the values for the notification history are acquired to be able to properly update the usage history as soon as the screen is switched on again. Neither the notification history nor the process list are updated if the screen is off since you could not see the update anyway, saving cpu power and lowering power consumption.
✓ The ad library uses some cpu power (1-2% for non-animated admob ads, slightly more for animated adsense ads). You can get rid of this by using the pro version.

[2012-08-10] PetFinder.com. Adopt a Shelter Pet.: So far so good Adopt a shelter pet. |
|
[2012-08-07] Sandon: 2 Years using This app has, at a glance, let me see if my CPU is being used by any app that is misbehaving so I can terminate it. |
|
[2012-08-04] AK: Great app Helped me to debug and solve a high cpu usage on ny phone. Thanks |
|
[2012-08-01] JCC2U.COM: เยี่ยม |
|
[2012-07-29] Eugene: Works well Time line looks cool |
|
[2012-07-29] Kd: Must have Da best |
|
[2012-07-08] Steve: Clear and useful Nothing else to say apart from that! Install it and I'm sure you'll feel the same way! :o) |
|
[2012-06-20] Charles: Great!! |
|
[2012-06-18] Marcin: Excellent and very helpful! |
|
[2012-06-07] Walter: Nice It's a cool app. Very useful and it has a nice interface. The only con. of this app its that it used too much memory and CPU load s : |
|
[2012-05-31] Dev: Excellent Exactly what I was looking for. :) |
|
[2012-05-30] nascent: Awesome. Would be nice to have option to disable from notification bar. Also to see history of which app used 100% 20 seconds ago. |
|
[2012-05-27] Brian: There are much better apps for this Hint: unhide the app itself from the list... It would make sense if it actually gave helpful info. Hint: the paid app doesn't either. |
|
[2012-05-16] Stephen Murgan: I am uninstalling this app! If you are the kind of Windows user who uses Task Manager to see how busy your CPU is, this app is for you. It tells you at a glance if your phone is too busy to perform a CPU-intensive task. If configured to run on boot, it will tell you when your phone has finally "calmed down" and you can start using it "in anger" One of my favorite apps and highly recommended. An excellent piece of programming and well worth the shekels. So why am I unstalling it? Easy - I just purchased the full version! |
|
[2012-05-14] Chulin: SS Galaxy S2 Love time line on top make me known CPU usage all time. |
|
[2012-05-09] Michael's: 100% CPU I have the opposite problem of another commenter... My phone is at 100% CPU and it takes minutes to load anything, this app agrees in the bars and the summary but the actual task list, with system tasks enabled, only shows about 20% CPU in the totals. What's using all the rest? |
|
[2012-05-09] George: Power hungry A nice app but battery and mem hungry. Uninstalling... |
|
[2012-05-05] vimal: Overheating root cause found Awesome app, nice to find out what apps are running in background and CPU used |
|
[2012-04-27] maciej: Crap From where this app takes these values??. System shows 178ram free - app shows 54free. I've killed few processes and still they're running. Crap |
|
[2012-04-21] Pepijn: Not for ics Doesn't work right on one x ics. Only shows the same three processes regardless of what I start and makes the notificationbar pop up in the browser every time it updates which is really annoying. |
|
[2012-04-09] James: Individual apps don't display Individual apps don't display on ICS, with "0% CPU" reported for all open processes. Doesn't work for the purpose of monitoring dodgy apps. Uninstalled. |
|
[2012-04-07] Keith: If I could give this zero I would It will show that the total CPU load is as high as 50%, yet the CPU utilization is less than 1%. This is consistent, even when other apps show that CPU utilization is far far greater. For example, several other apps that measure actual CPU utilization will show a CPU utilization of 50%, while this app will show a utilization of 1%. I have no reason to doubt the several others, in favor of this bogus-shite. |
|
[2012-03-26] song: Now I know any misbehave app |
|
[2012-03-26] Bernhard: Very useful app This is a very useful app to find out, which apps consume the most CPU time (and thus power). Highly recommended! |
|
[2012-03-18] nix: Perfect Google isn't so smart if they were they wouldn't let any program start any time it wants to, our batteries would last longer. This helps |
|
[2012-03-18] Gael D'Marte: It's something. Resource consuming (I don't like apps which won't die when I don't need them) and a little messy and annoying interface, though. |
|
[2012-03-13] stan: Useful An always visible widget tells me of the current % cpu usage. When I see a problem, I pull down the status bar and look at a graph which indicates how long the cpu was in this condition.Then I open the app to see which app is hogging the cpu. I uninstalled one app and turned off a player that was kicking my cpu to 100%. When things get slow, I can glance at the widget to see if my processor is overloaded. Nice! I tried several other apps but they didn't deliver. Thanks! |
|
[2012-03-07] Mushi: Good update w/app's &system apps exclusion. However they still show on Total CPU Load so real-time continuing monitoring still provides wrong results. |
|
[2012-02-25] EZ: Too complicated |
|
[2012-02-24] Steve: Cpu spike detection A excellent application. I use it all the time. |
|
[2012-02-09] Tat: Best Task Manager for Android! This is by far the best Task Manager for Android although I have already tried a couple of others (such as Watchdog Task Manager and SystemPanel App Task Manager) but the Usage Timelines application has come out on top. Please keep up the great work, Dr. Achim Leubner! |
|
[2012-02-06] Mr. Terry: My must have Love it, extremely helpful. |
|
[2012-01-13] Rohit: Rohit Ok, but somehow I don't find it very useful.... still good to go. |
|
[2012-01-05] remi: Most cpu usage It uses about 11% cpu and 60mb ram. Does not show load per core. |
|
[2011-12-10] paul: Mem hog 0-1%?! Actually uses around 8-12% of my memory, making it kinda counteractive. Xperia Play. |
|
[2011-11-30] PauloBorba: Excelent! ! ! |
|
[2011-11-13] Thomas: No accumulated CPU time |
|
[2011-11-07] Evil Mike: Works, but unnecessarily requires internet connectivity. |
|
[2011-10-08] Conrad: Redundant This is a pre-Froyo cpu hogg that cannot "terminate" 2.2+ apps and is at the top of its own list when run at least pollig interval. Enough said I don't recommend this highly esteemed app. Watchdog is the way to go since it doesn't exclude itself. |
|
[2011-09-26] Zaid: Takes 2 much resources |
|
[2011-08-24] Terry: . Resource hog, no ability to kill hogging apps. Upside pretty graph |
|
[2011-08-17] Deanspost: Absolutely awesome. Helped me find some problem apps. Just wish I could see the CPU history for specific processes. |
|
[2011-08-15] Thomas: Update: Bogged my CPU down on EVO 3D and EVO shift quite a bit great concept though. Note: Most apps that observe CPU have this strange side effect. |
|
[2011-07-21] Billy: Huge ram and battery hog. Need to fix then 5 star. |
|
[2011-07-18] ashutosh: I dont understand... Those 3 columns in the notification bar are for what purpose??? |
|
[2011-06-20] GaBo: Excellent :-) no battery drain |
|
[2011-06-09] Fred: Good app, good timeline, but a big CPU hog. It uses more than all my other apps just when it is idling. Definite CPU usage problem |
|
[2011-06-07] Karl: This app is fantastic. It was the only one that was able to show me the exact process that was using my cpu up. I tried 5 others first. |
|
[2011-06-02] perry.keith: This uses 30-40% of my cpu. Pretty useless untill that is fixed. |
|
[2011-05-28] ksatta: good The app itself uses quite a lot of CPU. Otherwise great. |
|
[2011-04-25] persephone: Nice esthetics as well as low overhead. But didnt show looping media server process today. Droid X rooted. |
|
[2011-04-25] Faheem: Very useful app, tells me which apps are still in memory, but not running. Sadly, drains battery like crazy, on Galaxy S, so can't run in background. |
|
[2011-04-25] Aseem: Sweet |
|
[2011-04-20] Nasim: Ironically, it's the biggest cpu hog! |
|
[2011-04-15] Christian: good, but uses too much cp itself Not good for starting at at boot time as uses too much cpu, but first one I found with real time cpu usage monitoring and sorting(sort by cpu usage with every 2 seg refresh) which is what i was looking for to identify in real time the applications using most of the cpu. Good app. |
|
[2011-04-10] Adam: Shows 100% CPU usage when only sub 10% is being used. |
|
[2011-03-31] mark: Almost perfect! add freq to pull down, might even buy.Evo |
|
[2011-03-25] Faheem: Very useful app, tells me which apps are still in memory, but not running(?). Sadly, drains battery like crazy, on Galaxy S, so can't run in bckground |
|
[2011-03-13] Mammam: Doesn't seem to work, my CPU was running at 100% but this said all my apps were only using 4%. Desire hd. |
|
[2011-03-05] Jay: Love it. CPU monitor + manual task killer |
|
[2011-03-02] Tracey: Slows down all apps. When I turn it off all other apps run better. I just uninstalled it. |
|
[2011-02-06] Human: Ironically, phone is far more responsive when Usage Timelines is not running. |
|
[2011-02-02] Mason: Works great takes up more space than other cpu monitors but I can spare the space |
|
[2011-02-01] dotmagic: Too much eye candies make this app very resource hungry. If just like Linux "top" command, it would be perfect. |
|
[2011-01-30] Christophe J.: Good app, but ads are really cheap. Displays a commercial banner for a "Farting machine"... |
|
[2011-01-23] Costa: Aesthetics should be largely improved |
|
[2011-01-23] Rogerio: Aesthetics should be largely improved |
|
[2011-01-22] persephone: Well done! I'm a bit of a system info geek and appreciate the esthetics as well as the low overhead. Droid X rooted. |
|
[2011-01-18] Andrzej: Some what of a performance hog |
|
[2011-01-17] Justin: Love the look, but seems to use excessive CPU. Also wish it had option to just show current usage and disable timeline history. |
|
[2011-01-13] B: Uses too much CPU resources itself.....Desire HD |
|
[2011-01-13] Momo-Dean: It uses too much cpu by itself. Or else i will say it's very good |
|
[2011-01-13] Birinderpal: Uses too much CPU resources itself.....Desire HD |
|
[2011-01-13] Dean: It uses too much cpu by itself. Or else i will say it's very good |
|
[2011-01-08] Thlayli: By far, the best free CPU meter. |
|
[2011-01-08] Thomas : Perfect Droid X. |
|
[2011-01-04] George: Awesome CPU monitor/task manager. Keep up the good work. |
|
[2011-01-01] xavier: Great app!..can c whats using up battery and close it , |
|
[2010-12-30] Kosta: Great tool to see what is slowing down your phone and reducing battery life. Get it |
|
[2010-12-25] Andy: Occasionally goes haywire and reports itself continuously using most of cpu, although according to other monitoring apps this is not accurate. Droid2G |

|
[2010-12-21] William: Would five star If it could track memory also |
|
[2010-12-19] Bill: Works great. Find out what's slowing ya down. Evo froyo. |
|
[2010-12-19] Harri: Helped me identify battery leecher (ultimatejuice), thank you! |
|
[2010-12-19] davidstu: Good app |
|
[2010-12-18] kd: greaaaat, this is "MUST" app, only miss how much ram left |
|
[2010-12-15] ShortySk8n: New update totally awesome. 6 stars. |
|
[2010-12-11] Polite&Right: Works great for hours or days but then seems to use too much Cpu and pegs my processor. Killing this app allows Cpu to fall below 100%. |
|
[2010-12-08] momo: This is the best software ever for android system dj Mo from china |
|
[2010-12-07] Bobby: A must have for galaxy s. Helps me stop when I have un used apps running draining cpu usage. |
|
[2010-12-06] Dan: Really useful and no adverse hit on battery. Great app. |
|
[2010-12-05] Rd. Vortex: Great app for showing memory and CPU usage of applications. |
|
[2010-12-04] Ariel: Sometimes there are CPU interrupts with this app. And forcing it closed or a restart is the only solution. Could be related to 4G phones. |
|
[2010-12-03] TwoOneSix: Installed so I could watch cpu usage but found this app to be the cause. Great app but my original DROID needs more power. |
|
[2010-12-01] Binh Tran: Good job! |
|
[2010-12-01] Bino: Good job! |
|
[2010-11-30] the 11/30/2010 Great for slow phones. Lets me see when the load drops so I dont keep pressing buttons |
|
[2010-11-30] Matt: This app is a must! Very helpful to keep your phone running at peak form. |
|
[2010-11-30] Matt: Great for slow phones. Lets me see when the load drops so I dont keep pressing buttons |
