SlowQuitApps

Adds a global delay to Command-Q so a mistyped shortcut does not quit an app. Holding the keys for a short while is required before it actually closes, and releasing cancels; the delay and a whitelist are configurable. It suits people who close windows by accident while switching apps quickly.

Bye-Mac-App

designsbymuzeer

Closes running macOS apps in one go. The panel lists what is currently open, you tick what should go, and it quits them together instead of right-clicking or pressing Command-Q one by one. It suits people who keep many apps open and want to clear them quickly.

activitywatch

An open-source tool that tracks how you spend time on the computer. It records time in applications and browser tabs in the background and rolls it up into daily and weekly reports, so you can see where the hours actually go.

skhd

A simple hotkey daemon for macOS that defines global shortcuts in a config file and runs any shell command when they fire.
