Sidebar Panel
A lightweight, always-accessible floating panel that gives you instant access to all your links, files, and folders from anywhere on your Mac.
How It Works

The Sidebar Panel is a floating window that sits on the edge of your screen, ready to appear with a single keystroke. It organizes all your saved content in an easy-to-navigate interface with folders, search, and quick actions.
Key Features
Multi-Screen Support The sidebar intelligently positions itself on whichever screen you’re currently using, automatically adjusting when you move between displays.
Flexible Positioning
- Place the sidebar on the left or right side of your screen
