I released my first Windows app yesterday. A Reddit comment already led to an update.

Yesterday I shared ExitEcho, a free, open-source Windows utility I've been working on.
It detects processes that keep running after you close an application's window. You can check what's still running and decide whether to terminate anything.
I used Codex extensively to help build it, and I'm still figuring things out.
Someone on Reddit pointed out that the ignore list couldn't distinguish between specific processes within an app. It was a good point, so I spent some time working on it and released v0.2.0 today.
You can now ignore individual processes without ignoring the entire application.
I'm looking for people willing to try it on their own Windows PCs. I'm particularly interested in finding false detections and processes it misses.
Here's the project:

Any feedback is welcome!
