Launching

Open any app in one click

  • Menu Bar Dropdown

    Lives in your menu bar. Click the icon to reveal a clean app grid that drops down instantly.

    See every app at a glance and click once to launch. No digging through folders.

  • App Search

    Find any installed app by typing its name. Results appear as you type.

Organising

Arrange your apps the way you work

    Do not need the macOS Dock? Hide it and use ShortcutDock as your only launcher.

  • Smart Groups

    Organise apps into groups like Browsers, Dev Tools or Design, then launch a whole group at once.

    Pin your most-used apps to the favourites bar at the bottom for instant access.

    Finds every application installed on your Mac on first run. No manual setup.

On your Mac

Native, quiet and offline

  • Apple Silicon Native

    Built natively for macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel. Uses under 20MB of RAM.

  • Dark Native Interface

    A dark panel that matches the macOS look rather than fighting it.

  • Launch at Login
