About
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 β 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 β 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 β hides every app in the group
- β₯-click β quits them gracefully
- β-click β force-quits them
- Live indicators show which apps in a group are currently running, and clicking a running app restores its windows β 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
- β1β9 switches groups inside the panel.
- β₯β§1β9 are true system-wide hotkeys that work even in full-screen apps β 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 β no cloud, no accounts.
- The only optional network signal is anonymous update statistics (app version, build, macOS version β no IP, no identifiers), which you can turn off in Settings β Updates.
- Updates are cryptographically signed and verified on your Mac; the app ships with an Apple privacy manifest declaring no tracking.
