This was another of my Rayday projects. It came out of a habit where I started closing Slack while coding, writing, or doing other focused work. However, I often forgot to close distracting apps and got pulled into them again. So, why not let @raycastapp do it for me?! 2/4

The goal was to keep this simple. You can toggle Auto Quits via the root search or the settings. They are indicated with a orange dot below the app icon, repurposing the running indicator. Initially, you could pick the interval but we felt 3 minutes are the right balance. 3/4

We recommend enabling it for apps you don't rely on for your work and want to use only temporarily, such as chats, calendars, or social media apps. Enjoy 🙌 4/4

This is pretty rad. Would use raycast just for this.

Nice! It really helped me not checking Slack all the time. Hope it works for you as well.

Saw a bit of the Raycast source code and project directory, feeling very mysterious. 🔮
