cmdQuit is a simple program for Mac that provides you with a quick and easy way to shut down or hide the running apps from your computer.
I like that you can manually select which apps you need cmdQuit to shut down for you. After choosing the Close Apps (Selective Mode) option from the main menu of the tool, you can pick out the apps you wish to close and the program immediately completes the task.
There's also an option for shutting down the computer and all running apps. This feature might come in handy whenever you need to turn off your computer straightaway.
An important improvement brought to you by this app release is that it can now be used on 10.9 systems. Hence, Mavericks' users can now work with cmdQuit on their computers.
The only thing I didn't like about cmdQuit was the fact that it didn't allow me to define shortcut keys for the actions it can perform. This feature might help you save plenty of time and provide you with a quicker way to shut down all running apps.
To conclude, cmdQuit is a helpful application that helps you close programs on your Mac with just a few clicks. The tool is very simple to handle, hides all background windows when it's necessary, and comes with no price.
Pros
- Intuitive interface
- Sits quietly on your Menu Bar without using a large amount of CPU resources
- Can hide background windows
Cons
- Unable to set shortcut keys for easier app manipulation
A useful application for quick program closing. I use it when I do not have time to exit each app manually and have to quickly turn my Mac off.
