About SupaSidebar

SupaSidebar is a beautifully crafted, Arc-inspired menubar application for macOS designed to centralize and streamline your digital workflow. It acts as a universal command center, giving you instant access to your most important links, files, folders, and open tabs from a single, distraction-free sidebar. Built for professionals, researchers, students, and anyone who multitasks across browsers and apps, its core value proposition is eliminating friction. Instead of wasting time searching through bookmarks, finder windows, or a sea of browser tabs, SupaSidebar keeps everything you need organized and one keyboard shortcut away. It works seamlessly across all major browsers like Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Arc, and Brave, ensuring your workflow isn't locked into a single application. With a focus on privacy (all data stays on your Mac), native macOS design, and powerful features like a global command panel and live tab overview, SupaSidebar helps you browse faster, stay organized, and maintain your focus, transforming how you interact with your computer daily.

Features of SupaSidebar

Global Command Panel

Access a powerful search interface instantly with a keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Ctrl+K). This panel lets you open any saved link in any browser, search through your entire collection of pins and recent history, and even perform searches within specific websites. It's your fastest route to any digital resource, acting as a universal launcher for your workflow.

Live Tabs Overview

See every open tab across all supported browsers in real-time within the sidebar. This feature eliminates tab overload and helps you never lose track of your research, articles, or work-in-progress pages. You can quickly switch to or close tabs from any browser directly from SupaSidebar, saving you from constant app switching.

Smart Recents & Pins

The 'Recents' section automatically logs every website you visit across browsers for the past 48 hours, making it effortless to recall and return to pages. Complementing this, 'Pins' allow you to permanently save and organize your most crucial links, files, and folders at the top of the sidebar for immediate, one-click access.

Multi-Browser & Native Integration

SupaSidebar is built as a lightweight, native macOS application that blends perfectly with your system. It supports capturing and opening items across Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Arc, and others. Use simple global shortcuts (Cmd+Ctrl+S to save, Cmd+Ctrl+C to copy a URL) to interact with any browser without installing multiple extensions.

Use Cases of SupaSidebar

Research and Content Creation

When compiling information from multiple sources, save articles, references, and data links directly to SupaSidebar from any browser. Use the Live Tabs feature to manage all your research tabs and the Command Panel to quickly jump between sources without breaking your flow, keeping your primary browser window clean.

Project and Resource Management

Organize all project-related links, shared documents, design files, and folder paths into dedicated Pins or Smart Folders within the sidebar. This creates a unified, project-specific dashboard that is accessible instantly, eliminating the need to dig through bookmarks or file systems during collaborative work or deep focus sessions.

Daily Workflow Acceleration

Replace repetitive actions like opening the same set of websites, tools, and documents every morning. Pin your daily essentials (email, calendar, task manager, notes) for one-click launches. Use the Recents section to quickly return to yesterday's work, dramatically reducing time spent on navigation and setup.

Managing Tab Overload and Distraction

For users who frequently have dozens of tabs open across multiple browsers, the Live Tabs overview provides clarity and control. You can see everything that's open at a glance, find specific tabs instantly via search, and close unneeded ones, helping to reduce cognitive load and maintain a focused, organized digital environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

All your data--including saved links, pins, and recent history--is stored locally and privately on your Mac. Nothing is sent to external servers.
