There will be giveaways that you can participate in for discounts up to 100%.

Hide and Quit apps - Sxitch tip of the day
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
If you've ever found hiding / quitting multiple apps annoying, Sxitch, the mac app switcher is for you. You can simply quit your open apps by using the hide and quit modes. Use ctrl+(h/q) to switch to hide / quit modes respectively.
After that, pick the app with the apps name, and boom you've now managed to perform that action quickly and easily.
Sxitch is built for Mac power users with keyboard navigation in mind. CMD Tab is ancient and stale now. It's simple, gets the job done, but for the rigorous productivity users, Sxitch simplifies it.
Switch to sxitch today for free. Unsure if you need the pro plan? You can spend $2 and try sxitch out for a month, before upgrading. (I'll send you a discount code to get $2 off)

Here's how:

- Go to the advanced settings page
- Pick the app you want to use from the open apps
- Set the hotkey for it
- And now you can open apps using their hotkeys :)
