Android has always been quite vigilant and is prompt to kill off any app at the MFA login screen while I am consulting the Oracle of Authenticator in another task. Thanks Android!

That being said, I dislike having 3 dozen apps open because I simply can’t quickly find and switch to the ones I’m using. So when I enter a new situation, I swipe all the way left, and Clear All apps, to start over with a tabula rasa.

The app I use is gone from the app store, but like Spotlight or the Windows Start Menu > type-to-search (before it got utterly shittified with web search/does it have AI now?), I have an Android app called App Search+ on the bottom left of my Android home screen.

Open it, and it opens a list of recently searched for apps. The focus is on the top search bar (and the keyboard has also popped up), and I can type to find any app I have installed.
