Texts
Take them as they are or in parts.
In one line
Your folders as a menu, one keystroke away
Short
Your folders as a menu in the taskbar or menu bar: one keystroke opens it, subfolders open as columns, typing filters, Enter opens. For Windows, macOS and Linux. Free 14-day trial, then €2.99 once.
Long
SystemTrayMenu turns a folder into a menu that is there in 5 ms. Press Ctrl+Win (macOS ⌃⌥) or click its icon in the taskbar or menu bar: subfolders open as their own columns, and Enter or a click opens any file, program or link.
- Just start typing: every level filters as you type, * works as a wildcard, everything works without a mouse.
- Folders first, "Photo 2" before "Photo 10"; drag entries into your own order, remembered per folder.
- Drag links from the browser onto the menu: clean name, website icon, warning about duplicates.
- New files show up at once; shortcuts to folders open as a submenu.
- Order and icons reach every computer through OneDrive, Dropbox or iCloud.
- Light, dark or like the system, with a glass look on macOS; 12 languages; runs portable from a USB stick.
- About 20 MB of memory, no extra software, no account, no ads, no usage statistics.
