# QuitGuard
**QuitGuard** is a lightweight macOS menu bar app that helps prevent accidental `Cmd+Q` presses, which can unintentionally close your entire application. This often happens due to the proximity of similar, commonly used shortcuts like `Cmd+W` (in Safari), leading to unintended app closures. QuitGuard offers a simple solution by requiring you to press and hold `Cmd+Q` to quit, minimizing the chances of these accidental exits.
## Features
- **Prevents Accidental Quits:** Instead of quitting the app immediately when `Cmd+Q` is pressed, QuitGuard requires you to hold the `Cmd+Q` combination to actually quit.
- **Menu Bar Integration:** The app runs quietly in your Mac's menu bar, allowing easy access to its settings and status.
- **Lightweight and Efficient:** Built with SwiftUI, QuitGuard is minimalistic and designed to have a small footprint on your system.
## Installation
You can install the app using either of the following methods:
- Download from the [Mac App Store](https://apple.co/3Z9nqYZ)
## Usage
1. Launch QuitGuard. You will see a new icon in your menu bar.
2. Accept the system popup to grant Accessibility permissions
2. QuitGuard will start monitoring `Cmd+Q` presses.
3. To quit an app, hold down `Cmd+Q` until the app closes. If you release `Cmd+Q` too quickly, the quit command will be ignored, preventing accidental closures.
