Recent Apps for macOS

Recent Apps App Info for macOS
Recent Apps for macOS is now available!

Recent Apps lists out current and previously launched applications. Choose from viewing content in a detailed list-view or a visually stunning grid-view. Use built-in toggle buttons to hide/show additional app details, like app path, launch date and launch count. Re-launch previous apps by double-clicking them. Easy pin and favorite functions allow easier and faster recent app management. Use the hide command to hide unneeded apps from view. Use the Options menu “Show Hidden” command to see previously hidden apps. Toolbar placed filter buttons give quick and easy access to common filtering needs, like favorite or to filter apps by just today’s launch date. The toolbar also has an easy to use Search field, which will dynamically populate below content with search results. Recent Apps must be running to track app use. It works independently from operating system’s tracking of recent apps.

* List of recent apps.
* List-view and grid-view layouts.
* Toggle properties for path, launch date, and launch count.
* Launch apps by double-clicking.
* Pin apps to top.

Always Clipboard allows users to automatically copy preset text to the system clipboard when specified apps are active. A list of running apps is automatically populated. Users can select a running app and assign a single string of text to each app. When the specified app is active, the preset text is then automatically copied to the system clipboard, ready for pasting. The Always Clipboard app can be disabled without closing the app by the Enable toggle at the top of the user interface. Additionally each listed app can also be enabled/disabled.

Zone Files for macOS

Zone Files App Info for macOS
Zone Files for macOS is now available!

Zone Files provides window position relevant filtering for listed files & folders. This allows users to create "zones", where the Zone Files app will dynamically update and filter its list based on its relevant window position in regards to five separate zones - upper left, upper right, bottom left, bottom right, and center. Multiple zones can also be triggered together if the window size encompasses enough monitor width & height. For example making the window fullscreen will then show all five zones' content.
Files and folders can be added to a zone by first placing the window in a zone position and then dragging/dropping content to the app. Additionally using the "Edit" tab will allow users to add content to desired zone without moving the window position. Each zone has a dedicated "Add" button to add files/folders, as well as a "Clear" button to clear that zone's content.
Under the List tab, there are two layouts to choose from, list-view and grid-view. In the toolbar there are also toggle buttons to turn on/off additional properties, like Path, Date, and Size. To search an active zone list's content, click the magnify button and type in appropriate file/folder name you're looking for. Zone content is dynamically updated to include matches. Additionally the search field will remain active while dragging the Zone Files app window to other zone trigger locations.
Files and folders in the list have multiple right-click options, including "Pin" - which will keep the file/folder at the top and persist in the list regardless of which zone position is active. "Move to Zone" - which allows users to switch a file/folder's host zone. "Remove" - which will remove the file/folder from the app, but won't delete the content from the file system.

Instructions for app operation:
1.) Launch app.
2.0) Add files/folders to Zone Files app.
2.1) Option-1: Click on List tab. Position window in one of the screen corners or the center of the screen. Drag/drop content to the app.
2.2) Option-2: Click on Edit tab. Use "Add" button in desired Zone to add Files/Folders to the app. To see newly added content, drag the app window to that zone's position (e.g. bottom right corner).
3.) To load the different user added content, drag the app window to zone areas (upper left/right, bottom left/right, and center). If dragging from one monitor to another, the app should be dropped, then dragged again, so the app registers the monitor change.
4.) Change view layout via the toolbar button to either list-view or grid-view.
5.) Click properties buttons (Path, Date, Size, Zone #) to show desired info.
6.) Double-click a file/folder to launch the content.
