Appocalypse enables users to close or hide multiple applications simultaneously from the menu bar. The app provides desktop decluttering through bulk application management with one-click operation. ($9, one-time)
The app offers two primary modes: quit all applications at once, or hide all applications while keeping them running in the background. Smart protection automatically safeguards essential system apps from closure. Users can customize a whitelist of applications to preserve during bulk operations.
Memory optimization features complement the bulk management capabilities. The interface remains minimal in the menu bar for quick access without cluttering the workspace it aims to organize.
Pricing: $9 one-time purchase with lifetime updates. 30-day money-back guarantee included.
System requirements: macOS 10.15 or later.
Limitations: The utility focuses specifically on bulk operations without granular per-app controls. No scheduling or automation features for triggering bulk actions based on time or conditions.
Alternatives: Quitter (free, open-source with auto-quit timers), One Switch (paid, includes app management among other features), Hazel (paid, more powerful automation).
Suitable for users who frequently need to clear their workspace of multiple applications, particularly useful for context switching between work modes or cleaning up before presentations.
