Quit All Apps

What is Quit All Apps?

Quit All Apps is a native Mac utility that helps users close multiple running applications in one step. It is designed for people who want a faster way to clear their workspace, prepare for shutdown, reduce visual clutter, or reset their Mac between tasks. The app focuses on simple controls rather than complex automation, with menu bar access and keyboard shortcuts for common actions. In addition to quitting apps, it supports selectively excluding apps and hiding windows when you want a cleaner desktop without fully closing everything. This makes it useful for everyday Mac workflows such as ending a work session, switching contexts, or tidying up before presentations. Quit All Apps is published by Duse Media AB for macOS.

Key features

• Quit multiple open apps at once from a menu bar control
• Use keyboard shortcuts to quit apps without opening each app individually
• Choose selected apps to keep open while closing the rest
• Hide all app windows without quitting them
• Open app settings from a shortcut for quick adjustments

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

This utility performs a normal app quit action on other running apps, so the main practical risk is closing work you have not saved yet. macOS apps usually prompt to save changes when needed, but it is still wise to save important documents before using a one-click quit tool. Its menu bar presence and keyboard shortcuts are ordinary for this kind of utility.

Recommendation: Keep Quit All Apps if you regularly want a fast way to close groups of apps or clear your desktop. If you do not use that workflow, removing it is usually low impact and only takes away its convenience features.
