Spaces Bar

A Windows-style taskbar for your Mac.

Every app along the bottom of the screen, one click away. It stays visible when you go full-screen — which is exactly when the Dock disappears and you lose track of everything.

One-time payment. No subscription, no account, no sign-up.

The Spaces Bar taskbar along the bottom of a Mac screen, showing app icons with running indicators and a notification badge.
Running apps, window counts, notification badges, and search — on a real Mac.

What it does

Visible in full-screen

Go full-screen and the bar stays put. Your apps are still one click away instead of hidden behind a swipe.

Keeps your windows clear

Windows are resized to stop just above the bar, so nothing important sits underneath it.

Hover to see windows

Hover an app to see its open windows as thumbnails, and click straight through to the one you want.

Search what's open

Type part of a document name to jump to that window — not just the app it belongs to.

Uses your Dock

Your pinned apps appear automatically. Move them into the taskbar and reclaim the Dock's space entirely.

Keyboard shortcuts

⌥1–9 switches apps, ⌥⌘D shows the desktop, ⌥⌘B hides the bar.

Every screen

A bar on each display, showing the apps that are actually on it.

Leaves nothing behind

Change your mind and one button restores your Dock and settings exactly as they were.

Requirements

macOS14 (Sonoma) or later
MacsApple Silicon and Intel
AccessibilityRequired — lets the bar bring windows forward
Screen RecordingOptional — only for window previews and searching by window title
NetworkNone. The app never connects to anything

macOS has no narrower permission for reading a window's title, which is why previews and window search need Screen Recording. Everything else works without it.
