The modern Dock replacement for your Mac
Intuitive
Sidebar feels intuitive to use
The usability of the standard MacOS Dock can sometimes feel a bit off. Especially if you are used to other systems like Windows or Linux.
Also when it comes to multi-tasking MacOS is somehow worse than other platforms. Sidebar tries to tackle this issue and provides you
with useful features that will bring your MacOS experience to the next level.
Sidebar replaces the Dock, improves usability, enhances your multi-tasking experience and adds a ton of features.
Give it a try, you won’t want to miss it!

WindowSnap
WindowSnap
Save, restore or lock window positions manually or automatically on system events
Managing window positions can be frustrating. Especially when switching working environments (e.g. from home to work) with
different display setups. Usually all your application windows will end up distributed randomly on your Mac, which honestly is really annoying
WindowSnap will help your to tackle the frustrating window management!
This feature allows you to store window positions of either all or a single application. You can later on restore those positions
either manually (e.g. by pressing a shortcut), or automatically (e.g. if you plug in your external monitor).
WindowSnap remembers window positions based on your current display and screen setup
and is able to store and restore multiple window configurations for you
WindowSnap will be enhanced in the future with a lot of convenient features
