Version: 1.0.3
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.
