About Recent Bar
Recent Bar application can quickly launch the most recent apps, simply by pulling down notification shade!
Normally, to switch between apps you have to open "recent tasks" dialog which appears when you long-press the home button. Looks easy, but now with Recent Bar it becomes much simpler, easier and it makes multitasking more efficient.
Having in mind that if you don’t wait long enough for the dialog to appear, you may end up in home screen, wasting more time while you were trying to switch between apps, and so Recent Bar comes to allow you to access and navigate between running apps quickly and conveniently.
Features:
• One simple touch to view recent tasks list, just like Alt-Tab in simplicity.
• Helps you launch recent tasks quickly, very efficient task switcher.
• Adjustable number of viewable recent apps per row.
• Ability to pause Recent Bar from refreshing the list.
• Shows recent apps in order for easier navigation.
• Works in real time.
• Starts automatically.
• Set notification priority.
• Very light on hardware resources.
• Create shortcut in home screen for standard built in recent apps dialog.
• Customize home screen shortcut color to match wallpaper.
• Pin/Unpin favorite apps –upcoming feature-
• For your privacy: Recent Bar does not have network or storage access permission.
• Works on android 4.0 and up.
• It's free, absolutely free. No ads, no hidden charges.

• As the restriction of lollipop, you need to allow usage stats access for Recent Bar. You will be prompted to allow access if it is not already granted.

It somehow relaunches the applications which causes loss app state in android 5. Besides this issue, it's pretty good app.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Would appreciate if the app could display Home button to quickly switch to home screen. Also, would love to donate something for keeping the app free.

Not sure how this works when all the other similar apps don't. Switchr was good. Please add an option to hide status bar icon and an exclude list! Custom locked apps would also be great!! Please! Thanks

lollipop bug causes recent app feature to stop working. This is a great fix, but tiny icons hard to see for old eyes. One downfall... Stays on lock screen all the time
