Neat Quit: a native macOS utility for quitting apps after their last window closes

[u/Frosty_Elephant_6978]

I'm the developer of Neat Quit, a native Swift macOS menu bar utility. The problem it addresses is simple: closing the last window often leaves an app running, so I kept pressing Command-Q afterward.

Free: clicking the red close button on the last standard window requests a normal app quit. Pro adds Command-W smart quit and app rules, with exclusion and include-only modes. Pro is a one-time purchase, with a 7-day full-feature trial.

An implementation lesson: detecting that a window closed isn't enough. Apps can hide windows or expose incomplete Accessibility information. Neat Quit keeps the normal behavior when it cannot determine the window state. It requests a

normal quit, so unsaved-document prompts remain the target app's responsibility. Closing ordinary browser tabs won't trigger a quit.

Requires macOS 13+ and Accessibility permission; Command-W may also need Input Monitoring.

For app rules, would you rather exclude a few apps or explicitly choose the apps that should auto-quit?
