Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

If you’re coming from Windows to Mac, then you maybe used to exiting an app just by clicking the RED button at the top of the window. While this may seem to work with Macs, don’t let your eyes fool you.

Yes, the window disappears when you click on the red button, BUT it doesn’t actually take the app totally out of memory, and when you have limited memory and a lot to do, you’ll need all the help you can get!

So, how DO you close an app to free memory?  

All Mac apps have a way to close them and free up memory – it’s a simple key combination: [Command] + [Q].  This is the only way to close an app and free up memory.

You’re welcome!  🙂
