Has Marco sold it yet?

Marco Arment just launched . It allows you to hide or quit any Mac app after a selected period of inactivity. This could be a great way to extend battery life!
Does it quit after 10 minutes of inactivity or just 10 minutes?
....'quits distracting apps after periods of inactivity', so 10 minutes of inactivity in your scenario.
turns out 'periods of inactivity' is defined as 'not being actively used'. So your browser downloading the big file gets quited because its not the active app, though its not being inactive. Be careful out there ;-)
So I installed this yesterday and added Spotify as a test case, and even though I was listening to music, it shut it down.
Honest question, why make use of this in place of CMND + Q? sharing that Spotify quit while playing is enough for me to turn away from this.
A Mac app and update to Overcast in the same day? Marco has been busy 😊
looks great but already hooked to bartender
completely different functionality. Quitter actually quits apps after periods of inactivity, Bartender "hides" menu bar apps.
believe or not that s good enough for me. Btw there is a reason the product hunt team put bartender in the related apps
Brilliant! Loving it even before downloading the app. Très cool. And handy. And free. What's not to love?
I figured you'd like this 😌
You guessed right :) I totally love these small simple apps that do one thing as right as it can be done.
Any chance of getting it to work on Yosemite? Kinda bummed I can't use it :(
apparently there's a new update that fixes that:
Cheers, works amazingly.
Looks good, I've been using Hocus Focus recently which also auto hides, but it doesn't auto quit.
Close when inactive + all windows closed would fit my needs perfectly. I'll make use of this for sure though.
Slack knows no boundaries with all these plugins --- cool product
