In Mac OS X, we use the red X button to close our applications and opened windows; that, however, sometimes can't be applied.
RedQuits performs only one function: it provides users with a effective and fast way of closing applications and windows. When enabled, this little tool will run in the background as it has no interface. Its settings include program activation, running at login and quitting only when one window is left for that application.
Note that in order to run properly, RedQuits requires users to enable the Accessibility API. This can be done from the System Preferences panel by checking "Enable access for assistive devices".
Briefly, RedQuits is free to use which makes it very appealing to everyone who wants to avoid encountering annoying applications that just won't close.
Pros
- Effective
- Free to use
Cons
- None
It works but it's not possible to disable the very anoying pop-up window after every user log-in. So I deinstalled it.
Go into Settings > User Account > and make sure "Login Item Red X" hidden is checked. This was unselected for me, despite it being checked in app preferences. Have not seen it on startup since.
It works on Mac 13...
