Universal Capture with Global Shortcuts

Effortlessly save anything from anywhere using lightning-fast keyboard shortcuts. Press CMD+CTRL+S to instantly save the current website link directly to your sidebar from any major browser. Need to copy a URL instead? CMD+CTRL+C has you covered. These global shortcuts work across your entire system, eliminating the tedious right-click and menu navigation, so capturing resources becomes a seamless part of your workflow.

Intelligent Recents & Instant Favorites

Never lose your work again. SupaSidebar's "Recents" feature automatically tracks every website you've visited in the last 48 hours, creating a dynamic history that's always at your fingertips. For your essential items, use the "Pinned" section to keep favorite links, files, and apps permanently anchored at the top of your sidebar for one-click access, ensuring your core tools are always ready when you are.

Blazing-Fast Universal Search

Switch contexts and find anything in seconds. Activate the powerful search by pressing CMD+CTRL+K to bring up a command palette. Start typing to instantly find and launch any file, folder, saved website, or application on your Mac. This feature obliterates the slow process of manually digging through Finder or your Dock, putting total control of your digital environment back in your hands.

Designed for macOS & Privacy-First

SupaSidebar is built exclusively as a native macOS menubar app, ensuring buttery-smooth performance, seamless system integration, and a design language that feels right at home on your Mac. Crucially, it operates on a strict privacy-first principle: nothing you save ever leaves your computer. All your data is stored locally, giving you complete peace of mind and control over your information.

The Research Powerhouse

For students and academics juggling dozens of source tabs, PDFs, and reference materials, SupaSidebar is a game-changer. Instantly save research links from your browser and organize them into dedicated spaces for each project. Use universal search to pull up that crucial paper or dataset in milliseconds, and keep your writing app pinned for quick access, creating a fluid, focused research environment free from tab chaos.

The Content Creator's Command Center

Content creators managing scripts, design assets, reference links, and publishing platforms need everything on demand. SupaSidebar streamlines it all. Save inspiration from the web, pin your Canva or Adobe folders, and keep your editing software a keystroke away. The sidebar becomes a persistent, tidy hub for all creative assets, dramatically cutting down the time spent hunting for files and links.

The Multi-Tasking Professional

Professionals who switch between email, project management tools, spreadsheets, and communication apps throughout the day need efficiency. SupaSidebar eliminates app-switching friction. Pin your daily tools like Slack, Notion, and Gmail to the top. Use global shortcuts to save meeting links or documents on-the-fly, and find any recently worked-on file instantly, keeping you in a state of flow.

The Developer's Workflow Accelerator

Developers can supercharge their workflow by using SupaSidebar to pin frequently accessed documentation, GitHub repos, and local project folders. Quickly save Stack Overflow solutions or API references while coding. The universal search acts as a quick launcher for terminals, code editors, and local servers, making context switching between code, docs, and tools incredibly fast and efficient.

Is SupaSidebar a browser extension?

No, SupaSidebar is not a browser extension. It is a powerful, standalone macOS menubar application that lives on your computer. It works universally by integrating with all major browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Arc) through system-level accessibility, allowing you to save links from any of them using the same simple keyboard shortcuts without installing multiple extensions.

Which browsers does SupaSidebar work with?

SupaSidebar offers seamless compatibility with all major browsers you use daily, including Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Brave, and the Arc browser. This universal support ensures that no matter your browser preference, you can enjoy the same streamlined experience of saving and accessing links directly from your elegant Mac sidebar.

What macOS version do I need?

To run SupaSidebar and enjoy its full, native performance, you will need macOS 13 (Ventura) or a newer version. This ensures the app can leverage the latest macOS technologies and integrations for a smooth, stable, and feature-rich experience that feels perfectly built for your system.

Where is my data stored?

Your privacy and security are paramount. All data you save into SupaSidebar--including your saved links, pinned items, and organizational spaces--is stored exclusively locally on your Mac. Nothing is ever uploaded to the cloud or sent to external servers unless you explicitly choose to use a sync feature in the future, giving you complete control.
