Apps with Run in background enabled in Settings → Notifications are treated specially: they stay mounted so notification-related behavior can keep working. They still count toward memory use—see the note in Settings (about 50–150 MB per background app).

App hibernation & memory
weballoon limits how many embedded app sessions stay fully active at once so your computer stays responsive.
How it behaves (plain language)
- When you have an app open in front of you, weballoon keeps a small number of other sessions “live” for quick switching; additional ones may be hibernated.
- When you are back on My Apps (no app filling the screen), even fewer non-essential sessions stay live in the background.
- Hibernated here means the session is parked: weballoon saves where you were and can mute audio for that session until you open it again. Opening the app again brings it back (you may see a brief reload).
What you should do
- If the machine feels heavy, reduce the number of Run in background apps.
- Close app views you do not need (title bar Close app).
- Use Task Manager in Settings to see which apps use the most CPU or RAM.
