QuitBuddy
Stop quitting Mac apps by mistake.
QuitBuddy is a small macOS menu-bar app for the Command-Q mistake: when you meant Command-W but quit the whole app instead. Set per-app rules like Confirm, Hold, Double-press, Allow Normal, or Never Quit. Free protects one app forever. Standard is a one-time $9.99 lifetime launch unlock for unlimited rules. No account, no subscription, no app telemetry.

Hey Product Hunt! I’m the solo developer behind QuitBuddy. I built it because I kept hitting Command-Q when I meant Command-W and losing Safari sessions, VS Code state, terminal context, and Slack threads at the worst possible times. The idea is small on purpose: - Pick the apps where an accidental quit actually hurts. - Pick how each one should respond: Confirm, Hold, Double-press, Allow Normal Cmd-Q, or Never Quit. - Then let QuitBuddy stay quiet in the menu bar until that shortcut needs a second thought. Free protects one app forever, so the easiest test is just choosing the one app you most hate quitting by accident. Standard is a one-time $9.99 lifetime launch unlock for unlimited app rules. No account, no subscription, no app telemetry. I’d love feedback from Mac developers, designers, writers, researchers, and terminal-heavy users. What app would you protect first?
