QuitGuard

QuitGuard is a lightweight macOS menu bar app that helps prevent accidental Cmd+Q presses, which can unintentionally close your entire application. This often happens due to the proximity of similar, commonly used shortcuts like Cmd+W (in Safari), leading to unintended app closures. QuitGuard offers a simple solution by requiring you to press and hold Cmd+Q to quit, minimizing the chances of these accidental exits.

Features

• Prevents Accidental Quits: Instead of quitting the app immediately when Cmd+Q is pressed, QuitGuard requires you to hold the Cmd+Q combination to actually quit.
• Menu Bar Integration: The app runs quietly in your Mac's menu bar, allowing easy access to its settings and status.
• Lightweight and Efficient: Built with SwiftUI, QuitGuard is minimalistic and designed to have a small footprint on your system.

Installation

You can install the app using either of the following methods:

• Download from the Mac App Store

Usage

1. Launch QuitGuard. You will see a new icon in your menu bar.
2. Accept the system popup to grant Accessibility permissions
3. QuitGuard will start monitoring Cmd+Q presses.
4. To quit an app, hold down Cmd+Q until the app closes. If you release Cmd+Q too quickly, the quit command will be ignored, preventing accidental closures.
