TabLauncher adds a set of tidy tabs to the edges of your Mac screen, each holding the apps, files, folders and web pages you open most. It suits anyone whose Dock has grown crowded and who wants daily items one quick move away.

Key Features

• Tabs can sit on any screen edge and reveal their contents when you hover over them
• Drag any app, file or folder onto a tab to save a shortcut you can open later
• Tabs can hide away and appear only when the pointer reaches the screen edge
• Colors, shapes and gradients for each tab can be shaped in the Gradient Studio
• Settings can be saved to a backup file and moved to another Mac

How to Download

1. Use the download button on this page to get the app, or Download from the official site for vendor guidance
2. The full app is sold through the Mac App Store, while a free Lite edition is also offered
3. Launch the app, drag your first items onto a tab and place the tabs where they suit you

System Requirements

The vendor states that TabLauncher and TabLauncher Lite need macOS 12 or later. Check your version under About This Mac before installing.

FAQs

What is the difference between the full app and Lite?

The vendor says Lite is free and has the same tools, but it stops at three tabs. The full App Store version removes that limit.

Does it replace the Dock?

No. It works beside the Dock and helps keep it lean, holding the items you launch often in its own tabs.

Can I move my tabs to a new Mac?

Yes. Save your setup in Preferences to a backup file, copy it to the other Mac and open it there to restore your tabs.
