Amplify gave Android users granular control over what woke their phone up. By intercepting and throttling alarms, wakelocks, and background services — including notorious offenders like Google Play Services' Network Location Provider — Amplify dramatically reduced unnecessary wake-ups and extended battery life without sacrificing functionality.

The app offered both preset configurations for everyday users and deep, per-service customization for power users. A built-in time-waste tracker showed exactly how much battery each alarm and wakelock had consumed, making it easy to identify and tame the worst offenders. Tasker integration let users automate profiles based on time, location, or any other trigger.

Amplify accumulated over a million downloads on the Google Play Store and was translated into more than 20 languages by a community of contributors. The XDA Developers thread became a hub for the Xposed community, drawing over 2 million views and 8,200 posts. The app was suspended from the Play Store in 2019 following policy changes around device optimization tools.
