Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹ After years of dealing with slowdowns on my Mac when multitasking, I built AppHalt to help pause background apps without quitting them. It’s simple, effective, and honestly saved me a lot of frustration. Let me know what you think β€” I’d love your feedback and ideas for what to improve next! πŸ’‘
