Features of SupaSidebar

Universal Command Panel

Activate with a quick ⌘ + ⌃ + K and instantly search through everything. This central command hub lets you open any saved or recent link in any browser, search within specific websites, and find files, folders, or apps on your Mac. It works exactly like Arc's Command Panel but extends its power across your entire system, turning a simple keystroke into the fastest way to navigate your digital world without ever touching your mouse.

Live Tabs & Recents Overview

Gain immediate visibility and control over your browsing session. The Live Tabs feature shows you every open tab across all supported browsers in real time, so you never lose track of your work. Simultaneously, the Recents section automatically logs every website you've visited in the last 48 hours. This combination ensures effortless recall and tab management, allowing you to jump back to any page instantly, whether it's currently open or was viewed recently.

Instant Save & Organize with Pins

Capture anything in a heartbeat. Use the global shortcut ⌘ + ⌃ + S to save the current webpage directly to your sidebar, or ⌘ + ⌃ + C to copy its link. Organize your workflow by Pinning your most crucial links, files, and folders to the top of your sidebar for permanent, one-click access. This feature guarantees your essential resources are always within reach, eliminating repetitive searches and accelerating your daily tasks.

Smart Folders & Multi-Browser Support

Organize links precisely how you want with Smart Folders, which can use tags for automatic sorting. SupaSidebar isn't tied to a single browser; it's your universal companion. It works flawlessly across Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Arc, and others. You can save an item from one browser and open it in another seamlessly, breaking down browser silos and creating a truly fluid, cross-platform workflow that adapts to your needs.

Use Cases of SupaSidebar

Deep Research & Content Creation

When compiling research or creating content, you constantly collect articles, references, and assets. Instead of drowning in bookmarks or countless open tabs, use SupaSidebar. Instantly save every source with a shortcut, organize them into Smart Folders with tags, and keep key references Pinned. The Command Panel lets you search through all saved material and open links in your preferred browser in seconds, keeping your research flow uninterrupted and highly efficient.

Cross-Browser Project Management

Professionals often use different browsers for work, personal, and testing environments. SupaSidebar unifies this chaos. Track all open tabs (Live Tabs) for a project across Chrome, Safari, and Firefox in one view. Save important project links and documents, and access them from any browser instantly. This eliminates the hassle of switching contexts and manually syncing data between browsers, streamlining multi-browser project workflows dramatically.

Daily Driver for Power Users

For anyone who lives on their Mac, SupaSidebar becomes the central launchpad. Use the ⌘ + ⌃ + K shortcut as a faster alternative to Spotlight to open apps and files. Keep daily tools like email, calendar, and dashboards Pinned. Let Recents serve as a short-term memory bank for everything you've visited. This use case transforms the sidebar into an essential utility for rapid navigation and access, saving countless clicks and minutes every day.

Client Work & Freelancing

Manage multiple client workspaces with ease. Use SupaSidebar's Spaces (available in Pro) to create separate sidebars for each client or project. Pin client-specific links, portals, and asset folders. When switching tasks, just change your Space to have all relevant resources immediately available without clutter from other projects. This compartmentalization ensures focus, reduces errors, and allows for lightning-fast context switching between different client demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SupaSidebar a browser extension?

No, SupaSidebar is not a browser extension. It is a standalone, native macOS menubar application. It works alongside your browsers by using system-level accessibility features to communicate with them. This architecture is what allows it to support so many browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Arc, Brave, etc.) simultaneously and offer system-wide features like global keyboard shortcuts and file search, going far beyond what a simple extension could do.
