With the slow demise of Swift Quit a replacement has been needed badly and now "Last Window Quits" has come to the rescue. Easy to set up and use and does exactly what it reports to do - well done

What is Last Window Quits?

Last Window Quits ensures that applications are quit when their last window is closed, preventing them from running in the background and using unnecessary memory. It detects any closure method, including actions like clicking the red button, using keyboard shortcuts, etc. Specific apps can be blacklisted so that they never get quit.

macOS includes built-in memory management that automatically closes background apps not in use, particularly when memory is low. However there are instances where the system runs out of memory without closing inactive apps. This app provides an alternative for those who prefer always closing apps to maintain optimal memory usage.
