App Stop is a powerful application engineered to allow you to take control of the applications running on your computer allowing you to increase the speed of your computer.

  • Improved crash/bug reporting (now outputs stack traces and notifies user of exceptions)
  • You can now specify a global shortcut that can be used to bring the Application Manager forward
  • Improved 'hide and stop' reliability
  • Your filter criteria will now be preserved between App Stop startups
