NoQuit
Switched from AZERTY to QWERTY? Muscle memory can make you hit Cmd+Q. One keystroke and your app is gone. NoQuit adds a simple confirmation before quitting.

Only quit with your mouse? If you never use keyboard shortcuts to close apps—just the red button or File → Quit—NoQuit probably won't be useful for you. But feel free to download anyway.
Don't try macOS ⌘+Q here—you'll just quit the page.
macOS
The problem
On Mac, Cmd+Q closes applications instantly. Switch from AZERTY to QWERTY—or any layout change—and muscle memory can betray you: one wrong keystroke, your app is gone. Often irreversible.
The solution
NoQuit runs in the background and intercepts these shortcuts. Before quitting, a confirmation dialog appears: "Are you sure you want to quit?" To bypass it, hold Cmd (or Alt) and press Q (or F4) twice—quits immediately.
