About Quitly
Quitly is a minimalist menu bar utility designed specifically for macOS to solve a common user frustration: apps that remain open in the background after you close their windows.
By default, macOS keeps applications running even when you click the red 'X' to close their final window, which can drain RAM and clutter your Dock. Quitly fixes this by automatically quitting an application for real once its last window closes, incorporating a thoughtful 2-second grace period.
Developed by indie macOS developer Stana Ioan, Quitly also features a convenient one-click 'Quit All' command and a customizable exceptions list for apps you prefer to keep running in the background. It is available for a one-time purchase of $2 with no account creation required.

- Provides an exceptions list for specific apps
- Simple one-time price of $2 with no account required

About AskCodi
AskCodi is an advanced artificial intelligence tool designed to orchestrate AI agents at scale while helping development teams reduce costs. By simply telling Codi what you want to build, the platform automatically writes comprehensive project plans, initiates parallel AI agents across your various projects, and intelligently selects the most cost-effective model capable of handling each specific task.
Built to optimize productivity and engineering workflows, AskCodi streamlines project setup by automatically generating project charters and granular task lists upon initialization. Designed with a human-in-the-loop philosophy, it manages the heavy lifting autonomously and routes critical decisions to a centralized inbox only when human intervention is strictly required, allowing you to ship more while spending significantly less.
Pros of AskCodi
- Orchestrates AI agents in parallel across multiple projects
- Smart model routing picks the cheapest model for each specific task to minimize costs
- Automates project setup by generating charters and task lists independently
- Minimizes noise by channeling decisions through a single unified inbox
Cons of AskCodi
- Relies on autonomous agents which may require human oversight for critical decisions
- Specific integration details and advanced configuration options are not fully detailed in the metadata
- May require adaptation for teams accustomed to traditional manual project planning
