  • Apps I use everyday thanks to this sub!
    You'll want to add Slidepad to that list, hehehe; I wish there was a Windows version: https://slidepad.app/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Always visible side-panel with tracking apps
    Thanks, just to confirm is this the app https://slidepad.app ? Ive tried plus in the settings and main screen but it just brings upsettings and browser apps. Source: about 1 year ago

    I think you are thinking of Slidepad https://slidepad.app. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Macbook for programming/coding
    Pretty much a premium linux experience out of the box, also things like Quicklook make it easy to instantaneously view a ton of files without even opening apps from documents to media files. Especially helpful if you're going through documentation and typically there's a bunch of it in various formats.

    I use uBar, you can have all windows ungrouped on the bar and it should have the title for each window. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Finally seeing the draw to Mac...
    There's always Ubar for an alt to the dock. It's Windows-esq. Https://brawersoftware.com/products/ubar. Source: over 2 years ago
  • How to make easier MacOS for my mom long time user of Windows?

  • Multiple MacOS Docks or MacOS Dock Alternatives
    Here is what I´ve found elsewhere: uBar - Cost 30$ - I havent tested this, purely because I doubt I would be paying 30 bux for a dock, also from screenshots, it seems to be tailored to looking like a windows taskbar, which I am not looking for. Source: over 2 years ago
