Quitly
Make the red X actually quit your Mac apps
About Quitly
Quitly is a streamlined macOS utility designed to truly close applications when their last window is shut. Unlike the default behavior where closing a window merely minimizes or hides the app, Quitly ensures the app quits entirely after a brief 2-second grace period. This helps free up RAM and declutter the Dock, making your Mac run more efficiently. The tool offers a simple one-click 'Quit All' feature for closing multiple apps at once and includes an exceptions list to keep certain apps running regardless of window closure. Priced at just $2 with no account required, Quitly is an accessible and lightweight solution for Mac users seeking better app management and improved system performance.
