Swift Quit enables automatic quitting of macOS apps when closing their last window (clicking the red x). It can be configured to quit when the last window of any app closed, or restricted to a specific list of apps.

Last Window Quits ensures that applications are quit when their last window is closed, preventing them from running in the background and using unnecessary memory. It detects any closure method, including actions like clicking the red button, using keyboard shortcuts, etc.



Quit all running Mac apps instantly from your menu bar with one click. Force quit frozen apps, auto-quit idle apps, and monitor CPU & memory usage.


RedQuits is no longer maintained, whereas Last Window Quits is being actively developed and works for this intended purpose.
