QuitAll
QuitAll is a really cool app for MacOS that can do a lot more than the built-in Activity Monitor.
It lets you easily view all your open applications in the menu bar. You can also close programs quickly with just one click, which is much more convenient than using the Activity Monitor.
QuitAll lets you easily choose which applications and windows you want to close, giving you more control over what stays open. This feature can help you save time and effort by automatically closing multiple windows at once, without the need for manual searching and closing. This could be convenient to close all applications without rebooting.
QuitAll lets you easily set a timer to automatically close applications that are not in use, which helps save energy and improve your device’s performance.
QuitAll is a great tool for MacOS users who want to manage their open applications easily and save computer resources. It’s user-friendly and reliable, making it a valuable addition to your toolkit.

SuperEraser
If you’re looking for a tool that can permanently delete files from your Mac, there are several options available. I wrote an article about CleanMyMac, which not only offers file deletion but also many other useful features to keep your Mac running smoothly.
However, if you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, there’s another tool that is both affordable and effective at permanently deleting files.
When you delete a file, the file system only removes the reference to that data, but the actual data remains on the hard drive, USB flash drive, or memory card. With the help of data recovery software, anyone can recover that data, which is why you need data erasure software to permanently and securely erase your data.
Super Eraser can help you securely and permanently erase data from your Mac computer or external storage media, beyond the scope of data recovery. Plus, it is 100% safe and won’t cause any damage to your hard drive or device.
This comprehensive data erasure software offers flexible solutions and tools to help you securely and permanently erase your data before you sell, donate, give away, discard, or lend your computer or device to other people.
Price: $9.99
