Quit All Apps helps you focus, reset, or prepare your Mac for what’s next. It’s like a digital deep breath.

Tried writing my own; this works better

I’ve been facing persistent problems with apps and windows starting when I start up my MacBook, even though they’re not present in LogIn Items. I tried diagnosing and fixing the problem with Claude in a variety of ways, but ultimately figured the best solution is just to find a way to bulk-quit before shutting down. Since Mac doesn’t seem to have an option for this, I tried to get Claude to write a script for me. None worked. Ultimately, I found this app and it solved all my problems. Great way to spend a dollar!

Your story reminds me of my own journey, before I decided to build this app. ☺️ Thanks for the review!
Exclude feature has been added — hurray!

New features have been added to the app. The big one for me is the capability to exclude specified apps from quitting when Quit All Apps is run. The app now provides everything I want for a mass quit. It has become an indispensable utility for me!
