I was just wondering if there was an app in the app store, or cydia, that would clear running apps out of the multitask bar? I googled around and didn't find much.

I find after a few days of using my phone I have soooo many apps going that my phone bogs down quite bad. There's 2 or 3 apps that I would like to keep in there, I don't know if there's a way to auto clear them all out and have like a "whitelist" of ones to keep.

Does anyone know of such a thing?

Not everything in that list is running. The list is just recently used apps - not all are multitasking enabled and the OS manages which recently used multitasking enabled apps are left running at any point.

I use SBSettings + the Processes functionality of it. Closest thing to a task manager you'll really ever find (or need, I'd guess) on the iPhone. No auto-clear or anything, but useful in a pinch if you're just trying to kill a process.
