Fast Access
One-click launch from the menu bar
Keep your favorite apps in a compact launcher that is available from anywhere, without covering your desktop.
Menu Bar Launcher For macOS
Your Mac apps, right where you need them.
App Rack keeps your most important apps one click away in the menu bar, with search, categories, running indicators, quick actions, and global shortcuts that stay out of the way until you need them.
Built for a cleaner daily launch workflow
App Rack focuses on the small friction points that add up when you open the same set of tools all day. It gives you a tighter, calmer way to get to your apps without turning your Dock into a parking lot.
Context
See what is already running
Running indicators and quick actions let you launch, quit, force quit, or reveal apps in Finder from one place.
Control
Make it feel like your setup
Customize names, icons, layout, groups, categories, pinned apps, and shortcuts so the launcher matches how you work.
Three ways App Rack keeps your setup under control
The app is designed to be lightweight, but it still gives you structure where it matters most: organizing, launching, and adapting.
Organize apps into categories that make sense for your day
Keep work apps, creative tools, utilities, and development tools separated into sections that are easy to scan at a glance.
- Assign apps to categories with colors and icons.
- Collapse sections to keep long lists under control.
- Pin the apps you never want to hunt for.
Launch from anywhere with search and keyboard shortcuts
Open the menu, type a few letters, or trigger a global shortcut when you want an app immediately, even if the launcher is closed.
- Search by app name or customized display name.
- Record keyboard shortcuts for your most-used tools.
- Keep momentum without switching spaces or digging through folders.
Adapt as your setup changes
App Rack includes the practical touches that make a launcher useful long term: quick actions, import and export, recent apps, and menu bar customization.
- Show apps in Finder, quit them, or force quit if needed.
- Import and export settings when moving to a new Mac.
- Adjust menu bar title, icon, color, and layout style.
Keep your app launcher small, fast, and yours.
App Rack is built around local control and fast access. No accounts, no cloud dependency for the core workflow, and no extra noise between you and the apps you open every day.
