Sidebar features

Use in place of your Dock

Sidebar is an alternative for your Dock on Mac — quickly access apps, folders, calendar, and more. Change the look of your desktop and streamline your work with this handy helper. Don’t like windows sliding under your Dock? Sidebar has the option to reserve space so that windows can’t go under it.

Preview app windows

Preview the contents of your open windows by simply hovering over the app icons in your sidebar. Similarly, you can take a peek inside your open folders to view the files in them.

Access multimedia controls

Control your multimedia from the sidebar — view what content is playing and hit play or pause without opening an app. You can also adjust system sound or mute it in your sidebar.

Clear apps off the screen in a click

With Sidebar, to clear your screen immediately, use Clear View. This feature instantly hides all your apps, leaving you free to interact with your desktop.

Customize for multiple screens

If you have multiple screens connected to your Mac, you can tailor the sidebar for each and enjoy personalized layouts made exactly for the tasks you perform on each of them!

Adjust the look

Select your sidebar style and color, set it to float, decide on the degree of background blur, and set custom icons for each app. Manage your schedule seamlessly from the app with an integrated calendar.
