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 โ 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 โ 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 โ hides every app in the group
Live indicators show which apps in a group are currently running, and clicking a running app restores its windows โ including minimized ones.
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.
Keyboard Shortcuts
โ1โ9 switches groups inside the panel.
โฅโง1โ9 are true system-wide hotkeys that work even in full-screen apps โ with no Accessibility or Input Monitoring permissions needed.

I've been using the open source ShareX screenshot tool: https://getsharex.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
I made sure to document every step of the way via screenshots to ensure I could test enabling and disabling certain features. The screenshot tool I use on Windows is called, ShareX, and I find it extremely useful with regards to pointing out certain elements in an image. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
I've been using ShareX (https://getsharex.com/) for some years, which is also open-source, and very featureful while not feeling too bloated, though Windows only. I'll have to have a look at this next time I'm on a Linux desktop, as I found the options lacking compared to ShareX last time I looked. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
ShareX (https://getsharex.com/) doesn't have quite this nice UX but it's free. I often use it alongside browser dev tools. Here's a screenshot of me measuring this comment box https://i.imgur.com/yoTHbzq.png. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
