uBar mentions (10)

  • Is there a way to quickly restart open apps?
    Probably overkill, especially given it's a paid app, but uBar (Dock replacement) has a shortcut that restarts an app: cmd+shift+click on the app icon. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Apple Silicon Is an Inconvenient Truth
    I use uBar, you can have all windows ungrouped on the bar and it should have the title for each window. Source: almost 2 years 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?
    UBar could help quite a bit. It replaces the MacOS dock with a Windows-style taskbar. That along with Start, which is basically a Windows Start Menu for the Mac, and she should be good to go. Source: over 2 years ago
  • 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
