About CommandQ

CommandQ prevents accidental quits on a Mac. Instead of closing an app the moment Command-Q is pressed, it requires the shortcut to be held briefly, giving you time to let go if you meant to press Command-W. It can apply to all apps or only selected ones, and it can also guard against closing windows by mistake.

It runs on Intel and Apple silicon Macs and supports dark mode. It suits anyone who has lost work by quitting the wrong app.

Strengths

  • Simple fix for accidental Command-Q presses
  • Can be limited to specific apps
  • Also protects against closing windows by mistake

Limitations

  • macOS only
  • Paid after the trial
