ExitEcho v0.4.0

ExitEcho v0.4.0

ExitEcho v0.4.0 updates the Windows utility without changing how leftover processes are detected or ended.

Changes since v0.3.0

• Migrated the app, Core, and CLI to .NET 10 and aligned their version numbers.
• Added OLED Black, Graphite, and Midnight, bringing the theme selector to six choices including System default.
• Smoothed Pause/Resume and other UI transitions, including rapid repeated actions and Reduced Motion behavior.
• Added a compact recent-activity view and event status steps in History and Details.
• Fixed MainWindow layout when Ignored apps expands, and refreshed the four README screenshots.
• Expanded CI checks for ignore rules, legacy JSON, portable publish, and assembly versions.

The EXE is unsigned. The SignPath Foundation application was not approved. This build was tested on Windows 11 x64; ExitEcho has not been tested on Windows 10. Microsoft's .NET 10 support for Windows 10 is limited to supported LTSC/Enterprise editions and does not by itself verify ExitEcho compatibility.

ExitEcho cannot determine whether background activity is intentional. It never ends processes automatically; End leftovers requires confirmation.

ExitEcho v0.3.0

ExitEcho v0.3.0

This release improves how ExitEcho presents leftover process events. Detection and manual process controls remain unchanged.

Changes

• Deduplicates notifications for the same app and refreshes the open card with the latest process list, count, and RAM.
• Shows at most three notifications at once. Additional notifications wait in a queue; visible cards move smoothly when one closes.
• Respects the Windows Reduced Motion setting and refines the native UI transitions.
• Fixes opening History and cleans up the Main, Notification, Details, and Settings UI.

ExitEcho v0.2.0

ExitEcho v0.2.0

ExitEcho is a local Windows 10/11 x64 utility that reports related processes still running after an app's visible windows close.

What's new

• Ignore app suppresses future leftover notifications for the whole app.
• Ignore process in Details excludes only the selected process for that app. Other related processes remain visible, and End leftovers applies only to those shown after confirmation.
• Both rule types can be reviewed and removed under Ignored apps. Existing ignored.json app rules continue to load.
• If the app's EXE path is unavailable, a process rule can be based on its app name; ExitEcho labels this less precise scope before saving it.

ExitEcho observes apps with visible top-level windows. Inaccessible, short-lived, or detached processes may be missed. It does not automatically determine whether a background process is intentional, and it never ends processes automatically.
