Active apps is replacement for Samsung task manager / Program monitor that comes with TouchWiz Launcher.
A short explanation of how it works.
Active Apps is an application that monitor active apps / applications that have tasks running. it's important to monitor active apps because most of the time they are applications that we didn't close properly thus, they are still running in the background and hence consuming battery and affecting performance. However, there are no stock applications to tell what is running (not merely showing what is in memory) and for this reason, Active apps can help in monitoring what applications are running in the background and showing you the CPU utilization so you can make a necessary decision.
What are active apps?
Those are applications that have tasks running in background. since they have tasks running, they will consume CPU and hence affecting performance and battery life.
Why not task killer?
Task killer lists all programs residing in memory not the running app. It doesn't provide a pointer as to which is necessary to kill and confuse users with so many apps showing. a normal question will ask on Task Killer, i didn't open this program why does it show as running?
Screen Shots:
Here is a nice program to do that even though it's ads supported it provides no less functionality than the full app:

If you like the ads supported version you can get the full version here which has much more features.
