Wonderful productivity tool!

It is so convenient to use this app and not have to scroll through screens of web links in my browsers—pull down the menu bar of organized shortcuts at the top of your screen and pick and choose!

My only issue is that you cannot back up or export your shortcuts, which gives you no sense of security. Once you get a new computer or a clean install, all your time spent creating links is lost! Even if I could see a CSV or TXT file of my shortcuts, I wouldn’t have to take screenshots of my groups for backup. I would give this feature five stars if it became a feature that should already be provided in any app with shortcut creation.

As Easy as Skating in the Park!

I’ve been using Mac computers for about 35 years now and comparativly to PCs the operating system is very easy to use. But then came SHORTCUT BAR! If there were an analogy to discribe what it’s like using Shortcut Bar it would be as easy as “Skating In The Park.” You can simply start from the top level of your hard drive and skate down to any depth you like filling your screen with menu paths as you drill down. Want to start over? Simply click on your desktop. I have found most people get confused between their operating system and their hard drive. Shortcut Bar gives your hard drive a whole visual understanding of navigating and its construction. Oh, and that’s just one aspect of Shortcut Bar. Install it today, you won’t be sorry you did. “It’s like skating in the park!"

Easiest way to group favorites in one place.

I mostly use it for current projects to keep folders and related web page URLS easily accessible every day, without digging through folder after folder path in Finder to get to them. It leaves my finder window sidebar favorites list clear for those things that that you want there for longer-term access.

I particularly like the way a folder added to the Shortcut Bar list immediately springs open several of its contained folders in windows for easy selection as you hover your mouse over folders deep inside with nearly no effort or clutter. Select one. Let go of the mouse and it all disappears out of the way into your main menu bar.
