What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A macOS application that adds a configurable global delay to the Cmd-Q shortcut, requiring users to hold it down before an app quits. It shows an on-screen overlay during the delay to prevent accidental application quits.
Use cases
- prevent accidentally quitting apps with cmd-q
- add a hold-to-quit delay to command-q on mac
- warn before quitting any macos application
- stop losing browser tabs from accidental cmd-q
- customize the command-q delay duration on mac
When to avoid
- you are on macOS newer than Mojave and need guaranteed support
- you want per-app quit confirmation rather than a global delay
- you cannot grant accessibility permissions to background utilities
