What you get

Clear unwanted windows without leaving your Mission Control overview.

You can see which windows you no longer need and close them right in Mission Control, rather than switching to each one first. Mission Control Plus adds a close button to the windows in that overview, so you can tidy up while keeping the rest of your work in view. You open Mission Control as usual, without learning a different window-management system.

When you need a bigger clear-out, you can use keyboard shortcuts to close all windows at once, quit apps, or terminate active processes. You’ll find the available shortcuts in the app’s preferences. If your day involves lots of open windows, you get a more direct way to clear them away and stop apps you no longer need running.

  • Close what you can see

    You can dismiss unwanted windows from Mission Control instead of bringing each one to the front.

  • Clear windows in one action

    You can use a shortcut to close all windows at once when you’re ready to clear your workspace.

  • Stop unneeded apps

    You can quit apps or terminate active processes with keyboard shortcuts.

  • Keep your familiar workflow

    You use Mission Control as usual, with fewer steps between spotting an unwanted window and closing it.

Best for

  • You regularly work with many open windows
  • You already use Mission Control to navigate your work
  • You prefer keyboard shortcuts for clearing your workspace

Skip it if

You probably don’t need it if you rarely use Mission Control or already find closing windows individually sufficient.
