Side-Pilot
The window stays put. Your work continues.
Web pages, files, windows and notes stay beside the window you are already using.
An ordinary desktop
Finder, several browsers, a Markdown editor and other app windows share the desktop. The macOS Dock starts at the bottom.
The Dock becomes Side-Dock
Drag the Dock beside the current window. The same surface becomes the attached SidePilot sidebar.
Switch windows in the same app
Choose a specific TextEdit document from the open-window list.
Finder folds into the File Drawer
Finder’s window shrinks to its app icon, which moves beside the current window. The File Drawer then opens.
Browsers, one panel
A small group of Safari, Chrome and Firefox icons travels to the browser-panel button on the left sidebar.
MD editor docks beside the window
The MD editor window shrinks to its app icon, which moves to the right edge. Side-Note unfolds there.
Recent windows, in order
Finally, the remaining windows gather into Top-Dock in most-recently-used order. The current window stays open and its entry stays selected.
Reveal on demand
Hover over the left edge of the current window to reveal the sidebar. Move away and it tucks itself back in.
