Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built MacQuit because I was constantly playing ⌘Q whack-a-mole at the end of every workday. With 15–20 apps open across different workflows, quitting them one by one was a chore — and reaching for Activity Monitor to kill a frozen app felt like overkill for something that should take one click.
So I built a simple menu bar utility to handle all of it:
- One click to close everything (with per-app checkboxes to protect what you want to keep)
- Hold Option to flip every button into Force Quit mode instantly
- Set an idle timer and MacQuit auto-quits apps you forgot about
- Real-time CPU & memory stats so you can spot resource hogs before quitting
It's a $4.99 one-time purchase with a 14-day free trial — no credit card, no subscription.
I'd genuinely love feedback from this community. What features would make this more useful for your workflow? Happy to answer any questions! 🙏
Smart idea! Does it intelligently avoid quitting system apps or apps with active processes (like downloads)?
And can you whitelist certain apps to never auto-quit?
How does MacQuit handle background helper processes or menu-bar-only apps that don’t have a standard window state when executing a "Quit All" command, and what specific criteria does the idle timer use to differentiate between an inactive app and one performing a background task like rendering or syncing?
