AppHalt overview
AppHalt is a focused macOS menu bar utility for pausing selected apps without quitting them. Paused apps keep their windows, tabs, and documents ready so they can be resumed later.
Features
- Pause and resume selected Mac apps from the menu bar.
- Keep the current workspace open instead of rebuilding it after quitting.
- See apps that appear active or resource-heavy before deciding what to pause.
- Use exclusions to protect apps that should remain active.
- Use Smart Sleep Mode and groups with AppHalt Pro.
The free version can pause up to two apps and requires no account or payment card.
AppHalt is not a cleaner, antivirus, or system repair tool. Users should not pause apps during important uploads, downloads, backups, exports, recordings, or calls.
What's new in version 1.9.2
- Faster and more reliable pause and resume actions. Secure automatic updates. Improved Dashboard, keyboard shortcuts, translations and accessibility.

This app is amzazing. I've been cursing my 7 year old macbook air because after closing the lid and opening again after some time it runs really laggy and slow. That literally doesn't happen anymore! I'm recommending it to everyone

AppHalt is precisely what I needed. It's easy to use and makes sense if you want to keep some CPU-intensive apps like Firefox open in the background but don't need them for a few minutes. We bought the Pro version immediately.
