Description
Recent App is a lightweight app launcher that helps you organize installed apps, quickly find what you need, and launch apps with fewer steps.
View recently used apps or sort your app list by usage frequency, cumulative usage time, installation date, or name. You can also pin favorite apps, hide apps you do not need, and search installed apps instantly.
【Key Features】
■ Multiple sorting options
Sort apps by:
・Recently used ・Usage frequency ・Cumulative usage time ・Installation date ・Name
Recently used, Usage frequency, and Cumulative usage time use Android usage data processed locally on your device.
Without usage access, you can still sort by installation date or name and use search, pinning, hiding, and other features.
■ Pin and organize apps
Pin frequently used apps to the top of the list and rearrange them with drag-and-drop.
Apps you do not need can be hidden and restored at any time.
■ Fast app search
Enter an app name to instantly filter your installed applications. Find what you need without scrolling through a long list.
■ Three display modes
・List view Displays app names and usage information clearly.
・Grid view Shows many apps in a compact layout. Adjust the number of columns, icon size, and app-name display.
・Edit view Manage pinned and hidden apps efficiently.
■ Home screen widget
Launch apps directly from your home screen using the Recent App widget.
Customize the number of columns, icon size, app-name display, background transparency, and theme.
■ Automatic or manual refresh
Choose automatic refresh to periodically update the visible list or manual refresh to update it only when requested.
■ Backup and restore
Export display settings and the package names of pinned and hidden apps to a backup file. Restore them after reinstalling the app or moving to another device.
■ Themes and languages
Choose Light, Dark, or Follow system. Recent App supports multiple languages and allows you to change the display language within the app.

Android may limit the period and details available in usage history. Results may vary depending on the device manufacturer and Android version.
Recent App uses the information available on each device while keeping features that do not require usage access available.
Recent changes: Fixed an issue where the widget and main screen could show different app distributions between usage-based sections and “Other apps.” Both now use the same usage data and classification criteria.

This app works exactly as described. In older versions of Android you could go to the play store and go into app info and sort them by updated, newest, oldest, but most importantly "last used" this was great to quickly find apps that were running themselves in the background generating full screen pop-ups constantly. Basically an app with adware. Well, Google took that "last used" option away a few years ago for some reason. This app does exactly that allowing you to identify the malicious app

Works exactly as advertised. SO much more convenient than the card style recent app switcher Gaggle forces on us with no other list options! Used to be there but took it away because they know what's best for us. Right? WRONG!!!

Too confusing, why most apps are bad, recent looks a Windows 98

I can't customize it like filter apps or custom last used apps 1 day before only.
