What it does

MacQuit lives in your menu bar for instant control over every running app on your Mac. One click quits everything. Hold Option for Force Quit. A timer auto-quits idle apps. CPU & memory stats sit right next to each app name. • One-click Quit All • Force Quit mode • Auto-quit on idle timer • CPU & memory monitoring • Global keyboard shortcuts • $4.99 lifetime, 14-day free trial

Quit all running Mac apps from your menu bar, force quit frozen apps, monitor CPU and memory, and auto-close idle apps. Free trial, $4.99 lifetime license.

MacQuit is built for the moment when your Mac is full of open apps, background tools, and one-off windows you no longer need. Instead of quitting each app one by one, you get a single menu bar control for closing everything quickly and getting back to a clean desktop. The app also goes further than a simple quit-all shortcut. You can force quit frozen apps, review CPU and memory usage before closing processes, keep specific apps out of the quit list, and auto-close idle apps when you want your Mac to stay lean throughout the day. One click to close everything. Select what to quit with checkboxes, then hit Quit All. Protected apps stay safe — you'll see a shield badge right in the list. Hold…from awesomemacapp.com
