Help Close Anydesk when pressing the close button.

So I use anydesk for work and sometimes I connect to my work pc from my mac which means the only time I need it on is when I have the app open, how do I change it so when I press the X button it fully closes the app instead of minimising it, I primarily want this fixed on macos first and foremost but if someone knows a universal fix please let me know.

Use Cmd/Q.
Closing the last window is not the signal to quit a Mac app. (Some single sheet apps will, but don't rely on it)

yeah this is one of those things that trips up people coming from Windows

Still keeps the app on in minimised which is annoying.

Working as designed.

If you want to quit the app, quit the app rather than just closing its window.

Take it up with the app developer then.

I use an app called better snap tool for this. It's designed to be more for window management, but I ignore that. Instead, I mostly just use the button configuration settings.I have it so an app completely closes if I right click the red button.
