One button, zero hunting
No more combing through Activity Monitor trying to guess which Adobe process is safe to kill. Snuke knows the usual culprits and terminates them in one go.
For heavy Adobe users on macOS
Silence Adobe. Speed up your Mac. One click.
You quit Photoshop, Premiere, or After Effects — but your Mac still sounds like a jet taking off. That’s the zombie Adobe background processes. Snuke kills them all in one safe, targeted nuke.
No subscription. No telemetry. Just a tiny macOS utility that makes Adobe chill.
Photoshop & Illustrator
Premiere & After Effects
Lightroom & more
Built for designers, editors, and creators who live in Adobe.
Snuke is a tiny macOS utility that fixes a very specific problem: Adobe apps don’t fully quit, and your Mac pays the price in heat, noise, and sluggishness.
Targeted, not reckless
Snuke goes after known Adobe background processes only — not random system services or unrelated apps.
Make an old Mac feel new again
Free up CPU, RAM, and fan noise between sessions. Perfect for laptops that run Adobe all day but still need to last on battery.
How Snuke works
There’s nothing complicated. Snuke is a small macOS app that, when you run it, terminates a curated list of Adobe background processes that are safe to kill after you’re done working.
- Finish your exports and save your work in Adobe.
- Quit your Adobe apps like normal.
- Open Snuke from your Dock or Applications.
- Click the button to nuke Adobe background processes.
Think of it as a “post-session cleanup” button for Adobe. Use it when you’re truly done for now, not in the middle of an export.
Why not just use Activity Monitor?
You can absolutely do this by hand — if you like hunting for process names and hoping you don’t kill the wrong thing. Snuke just makes it a one-click reflex at the end of every Adobe day.

FAQ
A few quick answers about what Snuke does — and doesn’t — do.
Is Snuke in the Mac App Store?
No. Because Snuke terminates other processes, it doesn’t fit into Apple’s sandbox rules for the Mac App Store. It’s available as a direct download instead.
Will Snuke delete my files or projects?
No. Snuke doesn’t touch your files at all. It only terminates running Adobe background processes from a defined list when you ask it to.
Can I run it while rendering or exporting?
You shouldn’t. Always let your exports finish and save your projects before running Snuke. Treat it like an “I’m done with Adobe for now” button.
What versions of macOS does it support?
Update this line with your actual minimum version, e.g. “Snuke is built for macOS Ventura and newer on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.”
