Excellent Product & Support

At first I had some difficulties setting things up but the author is very responsive in helping me long to get things setup. This may seem like a trivial app for a SEASONED MAC User. But for someone who is not, it is really nice to have an ICON to click off of the desktop to Shutdown a MAC. Great work in providing a solution.

A Must-Have for Convenience and Accessibility

As a musician relying on a small monitor during performances, I discovered the Fast Shutdown app to be an absolute game-changer. With convenient icons for shutdown, restart, sleep, and lock directly on my Mac's desktop, the app has streamlined the process of ending gigs effortlessly.

One of the standout features for me is the ease of use. As a stylus user, tapping the shutdown icon on my desktop has become second nature. It's a simple, quick solution that ensures a hassle-free shutdown experience after each performance.

Beyond personal convenience, Fast Shutdown caters to a broader audience, including the elderly. My dad, who often struggles with navigating menus and mouse movements, found this app to be a blessing. The accessibility of essential functions directly on the desktop eliminates the need for complicated maneuvers, making it an ideal solution for users with limited dexterity.

While the overall experience with Fast Shutdown was excellent, the initial setup did pose a minor challenge. The instructions, although helpful, could have been clearer. I initially overlooked the requirement to go into the "Shortcuts" app preferences and check the box that says "Allow running scripts." However, a testament to the developer's commitment to user satisfaction, a single email resolved the issue promptly. The responsiveness and efficiency of the developer in providing the exact solution needed are commendable.

In a tech landscape where customer support often falls short, the developer's swift response sets Fast Shutdown apart. Having encountered various apps with frustratingly slow or non-existent support, the contrast was refreshing.

In conclusion, Fast Shutdown is a great little app that significantly enhances the shutdown experience on Mac. Its simplicity benefits users from various backgrounds, including performers like myself and individuals with specific accessibility needs. While the setup instructions could be clearer, the app's functionality and the developer's responsiveness make it a valuable addition to any Mac user's toolkit. I highly recommend Fast Shutdown for its efficiency, convenience, and developer support.
