Mac

Press a hotkey. Click a tile. Done. GridBar gives you a tile panel for every app, file, link, shortcut, phone number, and macro — one keystroke away. Press a hotkey. A tile panel pops up. Click. Done. GridBar turns repetitive Mac chores into a single keystroke — launch apps, open files, run Apple Shortcuts, dial numbers, fire macros, restore window layouts. Five display modes so the launcher feels the way you want it to. KEY FEATURES - Hotkey-triggered tile panel. Launch in one keystroke. - 5 display modes: floating panel, ring menu, edge sidebar, compact popover, native menu. - Tile actions: open apps, URLs, files, folders, Apple Shortcuts, phone numbers, mail with subject lines, multi-action macros, and saved window layouts. - Stash (drop and grab): a built-in shelf for files, links, screenshots, and text snippets. Drag in from one app, grab out into another. - Workspaces: capture every visible window in one snapshot, restore it on any board with a single tile. - Tabs for multiple boards. Switch with Cmd-1 through Cmd-9. - Icons from SF Symbols, emoji, app bundles, or auto-fetched favicons. Custom colors. Configurable columns. - iCloud sync across your Macs. - Native macOS app. Sandboxed. No telemetry. - Light, dark, and Liquid Glass material. PRO unlocks unlimited boards, unlimited tiles per board, 100 stash items, all 9 tile colors, multi-action chains, Apple Shortcuts integration, custom favicons, board export and import, iCloud sync, and Workspaces. If you came from Alfred, Raycast, or a Stream Deck and missed the visual side — GridBar gives you the grid. If you came from Yoink or Dropover and missed the launcher — GridBar gives you both, on one hotkey. Made by Balane.
