Closing open apps

I get tired of closing all the open apps one by one. Has anybody seen an app that can close them all at once?

iPad, iPadOS 15

Do you have a particular problem with your iPad or your Apps?


Your iPad will automatically and optimally manage system resources. Unless misbehaving, there is no technical benefit/advantage in manually force-closing open Apps; when idle, Apps are placed in a suspended state where they consume almost no system resources.


Apps resuming from a suspended state will resume far more quickly than re-initialising a fresh running instance. Resuming from a suspended state is also considerably more power efficient.
