Product context
Official or maker-supplied product information. It is kept separate from buyer evidence and independent purchase verification.
Aion is a native macOS menu bar utility for people who leave many apps open and want their Mac to stay responsive without losing work.
Unlike an unconditional timer, Aion checks what each app is actually doing before quitting it. Downloads, media playback, calls, screen recording, and local automation can keep running, while genuinely idle apps are closed on the schedule you choose. App rules let you protect important apps, and Activity History makes it clear what happened.
Aion is built for macOS 14 or later, available as a signed and notarized direct download, and works on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Core app-state checks and Activity History stay local. There is a free tier, with optional Pro features available as a one-time purchase.
