Cactus is an Android keep-alive library that helps apps stay running in the background. It combines dual-process foreground services, JobScheduler, WorkManager, one-pixel activities, and silent music playback to resist process death.
Use cases
- keep my android app alive in the background
- prevent android from killing my service
- run a background task continuously on android
- implement a foreground service that survives doze mode
- android keep alive with workmanager and jobscheduler
- restart my app automatically after a crash
When to choose
- you need an Android app to persist in the background despite system optimizations
- you want a ready-made combination of keep-alive strategies (dual-process, one-pixel, silent music)
- your app targets older Android versions where these techniques are effective
When to avoid
- you target only modern Android versions where aggressive keep-alive is restricted or against policy
- you plan to publish on Google Play, where keep-alive tricks may violate policies
- your project uses crash reporting libraries that conflict with Cactus's crash handling
