Features of SupaSidebar

Universal Command Panel

Unlock the full potential of your Mac with the Command Panel, a central hub for all your actions. Activated by a simple shortcut (CMD+CTRL+K), this powerful feature lets you search through saved links, recent history, open tabs, files, folders, and applications instantly. Go beyond simple searches; you can open any link in any browser or execute specific searches within websites directly from the panel. This transformative tool consolidates countless clicks and window switches into one fluid, keyboard-driven command, making you exponentially faster and more focused.

Live Tabs & Recents Overview

Never lose track of your work again with the real-time Live Tabs view. This feature provides a panoramic, unified view of every single tab you have open across all supported browsers—Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Arc, Brave, and more. Coupled with the automated Recents tracker, which logs every website you visit in the last 48 hours, you have an effortless, photographic memory of your digital journey. Recall any page or pick up where you left off across projects in seconds, eliminating the chaos of tab sprawl and ensuring nothing gets buried or forgotten.

Intelligent Pins & Smart Folders

Keep your essential digital tools always within reach. The Pins feature allows you to anchor your most crucial links, files, and folders to the top of your sidebar for one-click access. Elevating this further are Smart Folders, which automatically organize your saved items using tags and custom rules. This dynamic system transforms static bookmarking into a living, breathing organizational framework that adapts to your workflow, ensuring your most important resources are perpetually organized and instantly available.

Seamless Multi-Browser Capture

Break free from browser lock-in and capture information from anywhere without breaking your flow. SupaSidebar works seamlessly with every major browser. With intuitive global shortcuts (CMD+CTRL+S to save, CMD+CTRL+C to copy the current URL), you can instantly send any link from any browser window directly to your sidebar. This universal compatibility ensures that no matter where you find inspiration or information, integrating it into your organized workspace is always just one keystroke away.

Use Cases of SupaSidebar

Deep Research & Academic Work

For researchers and students juggling dozens of academic papers, articles, and reference materials across multiple browsers, SupaSidebar is a game-changer. Instantly save and tag sources to Smart Folders as you discover them. Use the Command Panel to jump between open PDFs, literature review tabs, and writing apps without losing your place. The Recents and Live Tabs features act as a perfect trail of your research path, making it simple to backtrack and cite sources efficiently, transforming chaotic research into a streamlined process.

Creative Project Management

Designers, writers, and content creators can centralize their entire creative universe. Pin mood boards, brand assets, and copy documents. Save inspiration from web galleries directly to tagged folders. Use the Command Panel to swiftly open design software, project management tools, and resource websites without ever touching the mouse. This keeps all creative stimuli and essential tools in one distraction-free sidebar, maintaining creative flow and dramatically reducing context-switching fatigue during intensive projects.

Cross-Browser Development & Debugging

Developers working across different browsers for testing and debugging can finally unify their workflow. View all open debugging consoles, documentation, and code repositories in the Live Tabs overview. Quickly copy and save API endpoints or GitHub issue links from any browser to a dedicated project folder. The universal shortcuts allow for rapid capture of resources while staying in the zone, making context switching between development, testing, and documentation seamless and instantaneous.

Daily Productivity & Personal Organization

For anyone looking to conquer daily digital chaos, SupaSidebar acts as your personal productivity cockpit. Pin your daily go-tos: email, calendar, news, and drive folders. Use Recents to quickly reopen yesterday's recipe or shopping site. Search for and launch any app or file without digging through the Finder or Dock. By providing a single, consistent interface for all your digital interactions, it reduces cognitive load, saves countless hours, and brings a new level of calm and control to your everyday computer use.
