Dock Mate

Dock Mate is a small utility that enhances the application launcher/taskbar area by surfacing live thumbnail previews of open windows and providing faster ways to manage running apps. It lets you rearrange and control windows from the launcher area and exposes frequently used window-management commands through a compact interface. By keeping active windows and their previews immediately accessible, it speeds multitasking, reduces visual clutter, and provides essential controls (switch, close, bring to front) where you already interact with apps. An alternative to consider is Convert3DGUI.

NOVA

Horbito NOVA reshapes browsing by turning websites into pinned app-like tiles with icons and notification badges that open in separate resizable windows instead of tabs, letting you switch via a taskbar-style launcher. That workflow reduces tab clutter, speeds access to frequently used sites, preserves full web functionality in each window, and aims to make multitasking smoother and more focused. Its strengths include rapid single-click access to services, simplified switching between tools, and reduced overhead from many open tabs; drawbacks are a smaller extension selection and fewer long-established browser features. NOVA is aimed at people who want a cleaner, faster way to manage multiple web services; alternatives to consider include Speedify or Quantum Browser.

dockey

Dockey is a free utility that extends the capabilities of the system application launcher or taskbar, giving extra controls to personalize how items look and behave. It simplifies access to apps and files while offering deeper visual and behavioral tweaks than basic settings, helping create a cleaner, more efficient workspace. The app lets you streamline how running applications are displayed and managed, alter visual details of items, control how files and shortcuts appear and interact, and fine-tune icon size, magnification, placement, animations, and active/pinned item behavior through a simple interface of sliders and toggles. It’s aimed at users who want to tailor their desktop environment—especially power users who rely on quick launcher access or anyone looking to declutter or optimize their workflow; consider pairing it with file-archiving utilities when you also need to manage compressed archives.

Fuwari

Fuwari is a lightweight screenshot utility that simplifies capturing and organizing screen images. Captured images appear in a detachable floating preview that stays on top of other windows, acting like a visual sticky note so you can keep reference visuals visible without interrupting your work. It offers quick capture with a minimal, easy-to-navigate interface, resizable movable previews, and a low-friction workflow, making it useful for anyone who frequently needs on-screen visuals. Users who require advanced editing or cloud sync may prefer alternatives that add those features.

Snipaste

Snipaste is a compact screenshot utility that combines multiple capture modes (full screen, window, region or freeform) with quick annotation and simple image-editing tools such as shapes, arrows, text labels and basic effects. It also offers a color sampler, a history of recent captures, configurable hotkeys, and easy export/sharing, plus the ability to pin captures as persistent, movable images on the desktop for constant reference. These features streamline workflows by letting you grab, mark up and keep important visuals visible without switching apps or repeatedly reopening files, making it useful for anyone who frequently works with screenshots or needs persistent visual references. It is available at no charge.

AppGrid

AppGrid is a utility for arranging application windows using Vim-inspired, keyboard-driven controls. It provides fully remappable shortcuts, fast snapping and resizing, and grid-based placement through a minimal, easy-to-learn interface to maximize screen space and enable efficient window management. It speeds up multitasking by reducing mouse travel and keeping predictable layouts, making it well suited to keyboard-focused or power users who work with multiple apps side-by-side and want a lightweight way to organize windows. Neo Network Utility is a similar alternative to consider.

Widgetter - Custom Desktop

Widgetter, from Villow, is a free desktop customization tool that goes beyond changing backgrounds by supplying a collection of movable, resizable widgets for displaying system information and simple controls—examples include CPU and memory monitors, storage indicators, fan/RPM and battery readouts, live weather, clocks, task lists and reminders. Widgets can be pinned to remain visible on top of other windows so essential information stays accessible while you work. The app also includes a large gallery of themes and high-resolution backgrounds for personalized visuals. Its strengths are the compact, information-rich widgets and flexible arrangement that can boost productivity; a drawback is a prominent on-screen watermark that some users may find intrusive. A lighter alternative with a different visual style is Fliqlo (free).

TabMeister

TabMeister replaces a conventional app launcher with a compact, persistent tabbed bar that gives quick access to groups of apps and shortcuts. You can create multiple tabs and populate them by dragging items onto them, and hovering an item reveals a larger icon preview; the strip remains fixed in place. Organizing apps into themed tabs speeds switching between different workflows, and the visual preview helps locate items without opening folders. However, its fixed position can overlap other on-screen elements, and the tabbed layout may feel similar to existing grid-style launchers, so it may not replace everyone’s current setup.

Window Tidy

Window Tidy was a utility that helped users organize many open application windows by letting them place windows into predefined arrangements and position them precisely, making it easier to see and work with multiple apps without relying on automatic overviews. It provided fully configurable layouts and resizable grids so users could create workspace templates for different tasks and switch between them quickly. The app was eventually retired and replaced by a successor that preserved the same core ideas with rewritten code and an updated user experience.

OS X Lion

This release brings mobile-inspired interaction ideas to a traditional desktop environment with the goal of simplifying the interface and streamlining common tasks. Notable changes include “natural” scrolling that follows finger movement, new multi-touch gestures for managing windows and apps, a unified file view that aggregates documents with preview thumbnails, and enhanced search with contextual suggestions to refine queries. Window chrome and layout were refined (smaller controls, resizing from any edge, auto-hiding scrollbars) and a consolidated overview merges open windows, full‑screen apps, and virtual desktops; an app-grid launcher provides quick access to installed programs and simple removal of apps. Bundled software was updated to include a centralized application marketplace, a web browser, an updated calendar, built-in video calling, mail, and system-wide search. In everyday use the update generally feels more responsive and smoother, but some of the new behaviors require adaptation and can introduce occasional friction, so overall impressions are mixed depending on how much users value the mobile-like changes.

BentoBox

A compact window manager that snaps application windows into predefined zones to prevent overlap and keep the desktop organized. It provides a clean, minimal interface focused on arranging apps into fixed areas for a consistent, tidy workspace. By organizing windows into preset layouts it streamlines multitasking and reduces time spent searching for open apps, speeding task switching and reducing visual clutter. The tool is easy to learn, requires little setup, and offers customizable layouts that adapt to personal preferences or specific projects.

FlyingWindows

FlyingWindows is a free utility for personalizing how application windows look and behave. It lets you fine-tune window behavior (snapping, always-on-top, resizing shortcuts), apply visual changes (transparency, custom borders, alternate window styles), assign keyboard shortcuts and tweak animations, all through an easy-to-navigate interface. It’s aimed at users who want a more distinct or efficient workspace—those who enjoy visual customization or small functional productivity tweaks. The utility provides settings panels to preview changes in real time, save different configurations for different tasks or setups, and quickly enable or disable features so you can experiment without committing. Consider other lightweight customization apps if you prefer tools focused solely on theming or window management.
