iām nodoka. this writing is my updated / continuation of my macos I blog.
i set up my macos II blog long time ago and i have been meaning to post this but i have not had enough updates worth to post. maybe now, i have enough to post, although not as volumetric as my first one.
killall apps<aside>
A simple automator app with an intuitive icon

I have mentioned in my previous blog that I use option + K for safely killing applications. Recently, I have wondered about killing ALL applications with one command. I set this up with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automator_(macOS) and the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleScript as shared in the reddit thread above.
What is cool about setting this up using AppleScript instead of setting up killall applications directly on Automator is that this will also close the Finder window!!

I use dark mode for icons on my macbook nowadays but apps like WhatsApp do not natively have a black icon on mac which is why I would set it manually using one of the icons in macosicons.com.
funny enough, I found about this website because I was looking for icons for the killall app.
