Runner

Runner is a simple app allowing you to update Deep sleeping apps on Samsung devices running Android (One UI).

Deep sleeping apps

If you have this feature enabled, unused (as well as manually added) apps will be added to this list. The problem is that these sleeping apps are not visible to Play Store, which cannot update them, unless they are temporarily enabled by launching.

This is pretty much how Runner works - it just launches all user installed (non-system) deep sleeping apps, alowing you to check for app updates in the Play Store. Once you turn off the screen, all these apps will put to sleep.

How to update deep sleeping apps

1. Install the latest apk release of Runner
2. Start Runner and wait for Play Store to open
3. Select Check for updates and/or wait a few seconds for Play Store to detect app updates
4. Once updated, turn off the display and all these apps will be put to sleep again

* I have almost 60 deep sleeping apps on my Galaxy S21 FE and all these apps launch in 2 or 3 seconds.
