Best for closing windows from Mission Control
Mission Control Plus adds a close button and keyboard shortcuts to the Mac's Mission Control view. It's about $10 for 5 Macs with a 10-day trial. It does one job, needs Accessibility access, and the page's price comes from a checkout script.
Who Mission Control Plus is for
- Fits if you use Mission Control a lot and want to close windows there
- Works for Mac users who'd like to quit apps from that view
Who Mission Control Plus is not for
- Too light for window layouts, since it only acts inside Mission Control
- Not for you if you're not on a Mac, as no other system is listed
- Watch out: it needs Accessibility access in System Settings
- Watch out: the price is filled in by the vendor's payment script, so check the final amount at checkout
Why Mission Control Plus gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyUS$10.07 for one license across 5 Macs, as the page's script shows it. That's below the $16 middle of one-time prices in this category.
- CFree plan and trialA 10-day free trial with every feature. The page doesn't say if a card is needed, and there's no free plan.
- CFeaturesA close button, Cmd-W, Cmd-M and Cmd-Q on a window, and arrow-key moves in Mission Control. A small job it does fully, and it doesn't arrange windows.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. It needs Accessibility access turned on before the close button appears.
- DPlatforms and integrationsMac only, on macOS 12 Monterey or later. Setapp is the only integration listed.

Keep Mission Control Plus, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Mission Control Plus you would be making control over other apps' windows. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 25 of the 28 other window managers and launchers grade higher.
What you could not
- Control over other apps' windows.
- A real app for macOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Mission Control Plus’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
