Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.0

GPA, above 0 of the 28 other window managers and launchers we grade

Mission Control Plus adds controls to the Mac's Mission Control view. A close button appears on the window under the pointer, arrow keys move between windows, and Command-W, M and Q close, minimize or quit. It needs Accessibility permission to find and close windows.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Mission Control Plus, taken from its own pages and our grades.

It does one job, needs Accessibility access, and the page's price comes from a checkout script.

The report card

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.

ToolGPA report cardMission Control PlusGraded Nov 12, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyBUS$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.
Free plan and trialCA 10-day free trial with every feature. The page doesn't say if a card is needed, and there's no free plan.
FeaturesCA 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.
Ease of useCNo store rating on record. It needs Accessibility access turned on before the close button appears.
Platforms and integrationsDMac only, on macOS 12 Monterey or later. Setapp is the only integration listed.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.0

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

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 it 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

Good to know

Good for

  • Mac users who lean on Mission Control to tidy windows
  • Setapp subscribers, since it is included there

Worth knowing

  • Requires macOS 12 Monterey or later.
  • Needs Accessibility access in System Settings.
  • The price is filled in by the vendor's payment script; confirm the final amount at checkout.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

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.
