App Groups

- Organize apps into named groups, each with a custom emoji icon, stored by bundle ID.

- Pin important groups to the top of the sidebar.

- Create and delete groups directly from the main panel — no detour into Settings.

- Default starter groups (Work, Creative, Utilities) appear on first launch.

- Group data is saved atomically with owner-only file permissions, and the app tolerates missing fields so updates never wipe your groups.

The Floating Panel

- A panel anchored next to your Dock that positions itself correctly whether your Dock sits at the bottom, left, or right of the screen.

- Opens from the Dock icon or the menu bar; closes automatically when it loses focus.

- A collapsible sidebar toggles between full labels (with shortcut badges) and a compact icon-only rail.

- Frosted-glass or solid panel style, plus System / Light / Dark themes.

Open All / Close All — the signature feature

- Open All launches every app in a group with a small stagger (so macOS doesn't choke on simultaneous launches).

- Close All does the reverse, and this is something no competing dock app offers:

- Plain click → hides every app in the group

- ⌥-click → quits them gracefully

- ⌘-click → force-quits them

- Live indicators show which apps in a group are currently running, and clicking a running app restores its windows — including minimized ones.

Most Used (dynamic group)

- A self-maintaining group showing your most-launched apps.

- Tracks launches passively system-wide with no permissions required, and excludes system processes.

In-Panel App Management

- Add and remove apps right in the panel grid.

- Drag to reorder apps within a group.

- Right-click any app for Quit, Force Quit, or Show in Finder.

- Drop a file onto an app icon to open it with that app.

Keyboard Shortcuts

- ⌘1–9 switches groups inside the panel.

- ⌥⇧1–9 are true system-wide hotkeys that work even in full-screen apps — with no Accessibility or Input Monitoring permissions needed.

- Shortcuts are fully remappable, with conflict detection and inline badges.

Menu Bar Mode

- An optional menu bar icon for quick access without using the Dock.

Privacy & Auto-Update

- All your data (groups, usage stats) stays local — no cloud, no accounts.

- The only optional network signal is anonymous update statistics (app version, build, macOS version — no IP, no identifiers), which you can turn off in Settings → Updates.

- Updates are cryptographically signed and verified on your Mac; the app ships with an Apple privacy manifest declaring no tracking.
