Ghost 2.6.0

Ghost 2.6.0 — closing an app is now as quick as opening one.

• close Safari, quit Slack and Spotify. Close, quit, exit, kill and force quit all work, on up to four apps at once, and they answer on this Mac before any model runs. Opening an app has worked that way for a long time; closing one went to a model, stopped to ask for approval, and on a bad day came back claiming it had closed something it never touched.
• Ghost tells you what actually closed. An app holding an unsaved-changes dialog is reported as still running rather than counted as closed, one that was not open to begin with says so, and Undo reopens whatever really did close.
• It knows what is not an app. "close the window", "close this tab", "close everything" and "shut down my Mac" mean something other than quitting an application, so Ghost leaves them alone. A request that names one real app and one thing that is not an app does nothing at all, instead of quietly doing half of it.
• The instant commands stopped asking for an API key. Opening an app, closing one, starting a timer and writing a note all happen on this Mac and reach no provider, so they run before the credentials check now instead of answering that Ghost has no credentials.

Releases 2.3.0 through 2.5.1 shipped through the in-app updater while this page stood still. 2.6.0 is the current build, and the in-app updater serves it too.
