Been playing around with this and love it. I frequently get overwhelmed with Chrome tabs and this is an awesome way to keep the work ones all encapsulated in one spot.
Couple Thoughts:
- LOVE command-shift-H shortcut to hide all other windows.
- Love the ability to save certain Google Docs as favorites and keep them under the main icon. This is where the power of station really lies... sorting and putting tabs into folders.
--> Think this ability with other apps would be an awesome next step... even if it is just saving url bookmarks. For instance, in Github I want to have quick access to certain repos and issues pages, and potentially set one of them as the home screen. Same goes for Clubhouse.
Additionally.... since many workflows currently involved receiving url's in slack from co-workers and clicking on them, would we awesome if it could detect those and open them within Station! (If this is already a feature, I haven't found it yet)
Great app you guys! I know with all the services, we all felt this pain. As a developer, I use a lot of panes and tabs and keyboard shortcuts to minimize time—it would be awesome if the app can split screens and have shortcuts to navigate through those windows. As for my workflow, it still seems faster still for me to open all these services in Chrome and work in different window panes. One big screen per service is somewhat limiting—or is there that kind of function already. Regardless, great app. Awesome job!
Hey @anthonygawonlee have you tried the detached window feature? It allows any app to be detached as an independent window. It's made for people using several screen.
You can know more about using it here: https://intercom.help/station/ba... (don't mind it's the old design).
@paraj_mathur no idea for now. Would be easier if you share details: your operating system, your antivirus, its version, and the full error message. :) Thx
Really loving this. My small complaint is that when you have tons of apps installed, it can be hard to quickly pick them out from the sidebar because they are both small and colorless. Can we have an option to show icon colors, colored borders, or choose our own icons? This is something Shift has done perfectly imo.
@sidianmsjones thanks for the feedbacks! The cluttering of the left dock is indeed a problem, and we are looking into solutions now. Personally i'm using the search (Cmd+T) a lot to switch between apps, it's sometimes easier.
I love Shift !

Nice initiative!
At the moment there is only one little bug. I have two icons of each initial services (gmail, calendar & drive)
