Active Peaks aims to bring some Blackberry 10 flavor to Android via enhanced recent app screen similar to Active Frames.

Although plenty of folks have made the jump from BlackBerry 10 to BlackBerry's Android offerings such as Priv, DTEK50, DTEK60 and now KEYone, there are still plenty of folks out who have things about BlackBerry 10 that they love and would love to see BlackBerry bring to Android. One thing at the top of that list has consistently been the Active Frame styling as well as the swipe right for Hub gesture and a new app now available in the Google Play Store called Active Peak, makes a notable effort to replicate both.

Active Peak enhances you user experience with its own recent app screen, inspired by BlackBerry 10. It provides you with large tiles, simplified functionality, and easy gesture navigation, always keeping your most relevant apps at your fingertips.

Active Peak allows for you to do that.
