How it works
- Pick the app or game to watch.
- It fires when the last process of that app ends, so closing one window of a multi-window app doesn't set it off.
- Ordinary apps are watched by waiting on their process; protected games are tracked through the process list without opening anything.
- The routine receives which app quit and when.
Routines that use it
Back to normal after gaming
When the game quits, Set power plan returns to Balanced, Set default audio device switches to speakers and Restore layout puts your windows back.
Close the companions
When your video editor quits, Close app ends the helper tools you only opened alongside it.
Back up after work
When your writing app closes, Zip files packs your project folder and Show banner confirms it's done.

Good to know
- Web links can't be watched; pick an installed app or game instead.
Questions
- Can I run something when a program closes on Windows?
- Yes. Use App quit as the trigger and add whatever steps you need, such as switching the audio device or the power plan. It runs each time the app fully closes.
- What if the app just minimizes to the tray?
- Then it hasn't quit, because its process is still running. App quit only fires when the app's last process actually ends.
