# @ohos.application.appManager (appManager)

The **appManager** module implements application management. You can use the APIs of this module to query whether the application is undergoing a stability test, whether the application is running on a RAM constrained device, the memory size of the application, and information about the running process.

> **NOTE**
> 
> The APIs of this module are supported since API version 7 and deprecated since API version 9. You are advised to use [@ohos.app.ability.appManager](js-apis-app-ability-appManager.md) instead. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
