Quickly close running applications right from your terminal. With great control comes ultimate power 💪
The code for this application has been written in under 30 minutes. A fun coding spike with some banger songs and ultra fast vim keybindings.
For the CLI tool I'm going to use node.js with bun runtime.
For UI components I'm going with @inquirer/prompts.
And for shell execution I'm going to use bun's native $ shell.
I am a person of multi-tasking. Whenever I am heavily invested in to doing something on my Mac, I can have many applications opened depending on how I feel. Sometimes I write Code, text people on Slack, Messages and WhatsUp, compose music and edit videos - all at the same time!
After a long day of work, it becomes harder for me to find applications that I need right away on my apps dock (bottom bar where running applications are displayed). Closing unused applications manually has become a tidious process, especially when my entire apps dock is bloated with a huge amount of running apps.
For this reason I decided to implement this small utility which would allow me to quickly see all the running applications, search for those I would like (or select all) and close them all together. So much faster!
