QBlocker
QBlocker is a macOS utility that adds a brief confirmation delay when you press Command+Q, preventing accidental app closures triggered by keyboard shortcuts. It sits invisibly in the background and intercepts the standard quit command, giving you time to release the keys or press Escape to cancel. The tool is designed for power users and keyboard shortcut enthusiasts who frequently use modifier-key combinations and want extra protection against muscle-memory mistakes that close applications unexpectedly.

1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about QBlocker's native Apple Silicon status or active development. The app's modest scope—adding a keystroke delay to prevent accidental quits—suggests it may have been abandoned by its developer, especially given that no native build or recent updates appear in public sources. Contact the developer at the bundle ID domain (wearecocoon.co.uk) to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, since an Intel-only build will stop launching entirely on that release. As a lightweight alternative that achieves similar protection with modern native support, consider the Mac App Store app "Quit Quit"—it provides an identical Command+Q intercept on Apple Silicon Macs and is actively maintained. For a broader utility toolkit, Bartender, Alfred, or Keyboard Maestro (all native) can assign custom safety prompts to dangerous shortcuts if you prefer a more feature-rich approach.
