If you're keen about organizing icons into groups and getting them out of the way to increase your productivity, it's worth dropping the 99 cents to see if this fits your Mac. Tab Launcher is stable, highly customizable and useful. You can save your Tab Launcher settings and load them on another computer, useful if you have more than one Mac in your household. If you want to switch away from using the Dock entirely, you can import the contents of the Dock to a new tab in Tab Launcher. You can also type an app's name to find the app in Launchpad, then press the Return key to open it. Like the Dock, you can set it to auto-hide as well. Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, or pinch closed with your thumb and three fingers on your trackpad. It will also open many older formats, such as StuffIt, DiskDoubler, LZH, ARJ and ARC. It will open common formats such as Zip, RAR (including v5), 7-zip, Tar, Gzip and Bzip2. You can even tweak the individual icons on TabLauncher. The launcher offers Mac OS X 10.8.4 and later users an easy way to join web conferencing sessions and play recordings by using a known and stable version of. The Unarchiver is a small and easy to use program that can unarchive many different kinds of archive files. There's a number of options available, such as changing the tab's size, color, font and more.

This is where programs such as Tab Launcher come in.Ĭurrently on sale for US$.99, Tab Launcher organizes any type of file on a Mac into a tabbed group, then anchors that group to the side of the monitor. But when you have a smaller screen to work with, especially on a MacBook Air, space is a premium. The Dock itself is one of the most attractive features of OS X and is actually one of the things that lured me into adopting Macs at home seven years ago. The launcher is complete with all the available game versions from the developers at any time, you can install one of them, even the newest Minecraft 1.17. For many people, it's kind of pointless to go searching for a Dock replacement.
