AppBeBack For Mac

Because quitting an app in macOS is an almost instant action when using the global CMD + Q keyboard shortcut, we find ourselves at times trying to remember what application we just quit.

Once you do manage to pinpoint the app, you still have to start it up again by either going into the Applications folder and double-clicking it or by summoning it with the help of the macOS Spotlight.

The unobtrusive and lightweight AppBeBack utility comes with the perfect solution to help you avoid wasting time to recall what applications you closed by adding a status bar menu which contains a list of all apps you've quit since it started running in the background on your Mac.

Once launched on your computer, AppBeBack will display a short tutorial which allows you to rapidly get up to speed on how it can be used to reopen any previously quit application hastily.

Thus, you can either use the customizable built-in CMD + SHIFT + W global keyboard shortcut or go to AppBeBack's status bar menu and click on the utility you need to relaunch.

To enable you to do this, AppBeBack will run in the background monitoring any applications you exit and add them automatically to its list for quick and effortless reopening.

Just in case you need the AppBeBack utility always to be running on your Mac in the background, you can either set it to launch on login from the intro displayed when you first start or you toggling on the option available in the About screen.

When required, you can quickly clear the app history with the help of the "Clear History" option available in the Preferences menu. Another way to do this would be to quit the AppBeBack utility and reopen it, which might be a bug or a feature depending on its usefulness level since it the app list will be automatically clear upon app restart.

Everything considered AppBeBack is a highly useful tool to have in your Mac's Applications folder if you find yourself accidentally quitting applications and needing to relaunch them as fast as possible.
