Outpost is your instant drag-and-launch companion for macOS. A cursor-centered palette for contacts, apps, folders, and custom actions — activated by hotkey or a quick shake of the mouse.
Meet Outpost — your instant drag-and-launch companion for macOS.
Outpost brings your favorite contacts, apps, folders, and custom actions to the tip of your cursor. With a single hotkey, a stunning floating palette appears, ready to receive files, text, or links — no window switching, no digging through Finder.
Whether you’re sharing a photo with a recent contact, dropping a document into a project folder, or triggering a custom script, Outpost keeps your workflow flowing.
Why you’ll love Outpost:
• Hotkey-First Design – Always available without breaking your flow, either via mouse or hotkey.
• Cursor-Centered Palette – Press your hotkey and Outpost blooms around your pointer with gorgeous, frosted-glass icons.
• Recent Contacts & Apps – Automatically pulls in the people and places you use most.
• Custom Destinations – Pin folders, apps, cloud locations, scripts, and Quick Actions.
• Drag-and-Drop Friendly – Drop files, folders, or links directly onto your destinations.
• Quick to Configure – Add or remove items with just a few clicks.
• Totally customizable – Add custom scripts, shortcuts and more. Unlimited possibilities.
Perfect for:
• Power users who automate with scripts, or take fast action on files and shortcuts
• Creatives who need to move files between multiple clients or folders
• Anyone who wants to stop context-switching just to send a file
Outpost is designed to be fast, beautiful, and invisible until you need it — a frictionless bridge between where you are and where your files need to go.
Launch Anything. Drag & Drop Everything.
This is truely awesome! That cursor-centered palette is such a smart design — I'm constantly switching windows, and this looks like a total game-changer for my workflow. Ngl, launching things from right where my mouse is kinda genius imo. How customizable is it for automating image uploads to different cloud services?
Hotkey + floating palette at your cursor is such a smart combo—no more hunting for folders or contacts, just zap it over instantly. Realy slick idea, team!
Really love the blend of power-user functionality (custom scripts, Quick Actions!) with a super thoughtful UI. It’s giving “macOS-native but better” energy.
Having a floating palette pop up *right* at my cursor is genuinly genius—no more hunting through Finder or switching windows just to share a file. Super slick work, tbh!

Wow, a drag & drop launcher? That’s wild—my desktop is a mess of shortcuts right now. Does it handle custom scripts too, or just apps? Super curious!
