Short answer: Still Dock for iPhone and Apple Watch will let you switch a Mac's Stop ⌘Q quitting protection on or off from your phone, for any Mac signed into the same Apple Account, without walking over to it or signing in yourself.
It's finished and free, and right now it's in review with Apple. Once approved it will appear on the same App Store listing as Still Dock for Mac.
On your own Mac, ⌘Q quitting the wrong app is annoying but you're standing right there to switch the guard on. On a family Mac, a classroom Mac, or a front desk machine, you often aren't. Someone else is at the keyboard, and by the time you notice their work got closed by a stray ⌘Q, it's too late to fix from across the room.
Being able to flip that lock on from your phone means you don't have to walk over, and you don't have to give anyone your Mac's own unlock credentials just to turn on a keyboard guard.
Stop ⌘Q quitting holds the shortcut per app you choose, so ⌘Q keeps working everywhere else. The installer version holds the key down; the App Store version asks you to press it twice. Either way, the app you protected stops closing on one accidental tap. See how Cmd Q works and why it has no built-in undo for the Mac side of this in full.
Open the app, choose the Mac from the list, and switch Stop ⌘Q quitting on. Your Mac applies it through the same code as its own menu bar switch, so there's no separate remote-only behavior to learn.
Turning it back off is the one that asks first: Face ID on your iPhone, and if that Mac itself needs Touch ID or a password to unlock, it asks there too. Nothing turns off silently just because a phone sent a request.
Nothing is sent to us. Your iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac share this setting the same way they share the rest of Still Dock's settings, through your own iCloud account.
Yes. Every Mac signed into the same Apple Account shows up on its own, with its own switch. Turning it on for the kitchen Mac doesn't touch the one in the office.
Only the effect: ⌘Q stops instantly quitting the apps you've protected. There's no pop-up announcing that a phone made the change.
Not yet. It's finished and free, and it's in review with Apple. Once approved, it appears on the same App Store listing as Still Dock for Mac.
It applies once the Mac wakes and checks in, as long as that's within about 10 minutes. Older than that, the request is never applied late, so it simply expires rather than surprising anyone hours afterward.
