Quit all applications except the frontmost

[MacGeeky]

A simple workflow that makes it easy to quit all background applications on your Mac!

 

Use the keyword 'qall' or a keyboard shortcut of your own choice to quit every application whose not the frontmost one on your Mac.

 

The workflow won't normally quit your menubar applications...

- Update the workflow with the Alleyoop update workflow for Alfred - makes it easier to update this and other supported workflows in the future...

- hides Finder windows when using the 'qall' command and Finder is not the frontmost application.

Nice workflow, thank you for sharing!

 

Why not adding the capability to "hide all applications except the frontmost"?

 

EDIT: well, I just find out ⌘⌥H can do it.
