About:
QBlocker is a lightweight utility that intercepts the Command+Q keyboard shortcut, prompting you to confirm before quitting any application. This simple safeguard prevents accidental closures of critical apps, preserving unsaved work and maintaining workflow continuity. It runs unobtrusively in the background with minimal system impact.

Key Features:

Intercepts Command+Q to prevent accidental app quits
Configurable whitelist for apps that don't require protection
Minimal resource usage with silent background operation
Instant confirmation dialog with customizable delay

Use Cases:

Protecting development environments from accidental closures during coding sessions
Preventing loss of unsaved work in creative applications like design or writing tools
Safeguarding background utilities that are easy to quit unintentionally

Alternatives:

QuitConfirm – Similar functionality but with different UI approach and configuration options
AppPolice – Broader app management features beyond just quit prevention
