Monitor and close inactive Windows tasks with JustCloseSomeTasks

JustCloseSomeTasks is one of those rare utilities that does exactly what you think it would. It closes some tasks, but not all of them.

The free Windows program monitors all of your running programs. And if you haven't used one of those apps in a while it gets added to the list of programs that JustCloseSomeTasks will kill when you press a hotkey. You can also manually select or deselect tasks to close by opening the main program window.

The program detects inactivity based on whether you've actually clicked on a program or input text or interact with it in another way. In other words, if you're listening to music in the background while doing other things, your media player will likely get added to the list of inactive tasks which will be closed if you just start hitting your hotkey.

Fortunately, you can right click on any running process and choose to exclude it from the current session or all sessions. If you want to remove a program from the whitelist, just open up the settings.ini file in the installation folder and remove the process name from the whitelist section.
