Getting Started with SupaSidebar

SupaSidebar is a productivity sidebar for macOS that keeps your files, folders, and browser tabs organized in one place.

Download & Install

Option 1: Direct Download

  1. Visit supasidebar.com  and click Download.
  2. Open the .dmg file and drag SupaSidebar into your Applications folder.
  3. Launch SupaSidebar from Launchpad or Spotlight.

If you see a macOS security warning, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Allow Anyway.

Option 2: Homebrew

brew install --cask supasidebar

After installing, SupaSidebar’s guided onboarding walks you through permissions, sidebar placement, and feature selection based on your goals. You can also grant Permissions manually at any time.

Continue learning in the app

Open Preferences → Getting Started for practical guides to saving, finding, and organizing links. The setup flow introduces the Command Panel and sidebar, and you can revisit Preferences → Sidebar → Sidebar Setup Guide after onboarding.

The learning cards include practical actions you can try in the app. Under Preferences → Getting Started → Academy preferences, turn off Show learning tips in the sidebar to hide both the progress strip and the optional setup suggestion. You can still open Getting Started whenever you want.

Use Preferences search to find a setting by name, or start with the Command Panel guide to learn the new scope bar and grouped results.
