Get started

1. Open Favourites and choose Add Favourite. Select an app, file or folder in the macOS picker. Removing its favourite leaves the original item intact.
2. Open Workspaces to save a named set of favourites. Review the list before opening it. Stop After Current Item prevents later requests; already opened items stay open.
3. Use Find an App for running apps and Applications for installed apps. Bar settings control placement, size, rows, appearance and mirrored displays.

Bring the bar back

Use Recover Bar from the app menu or press Command-Shift-B while ExploreBar is active. This brings the bar to the main display. The macOS Dock remains available.

Optional access

Upcoming Events requests Calendar access only when you choose Enable Calendar Access. Select the calendars you want. Event titles start hidden. The date grid works without Calendar access.

Battery History and Battery Alerts start off. Enable each separately. macOS controls notification permission and delivery. Open at Login also has its own explicit control.

Missing or unavailable favourites

Choose Again reconnects an item through the native picker. Check that its source drive or cloud provider is available. ExploreBar keeps a reference to the item; it does not upload the source document.

Scope

The first Store edition targets macOS 27 or later on Apple silicon. It launches apps and favourites. Individual-window control, window previews and hardware charging controls are outside its feature set. Battery fields are shown only when the Mac reports them. A missing field does not mean zero.
