Stardock Releases Groupy 2: Enhanced tab management tool adapted for Windows 10 & 11

Stardock has announced the release of Stardock Groupy 2, an advanced version of its popular tab management tool for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Building upon the success of its predecessor, Groupy 2 brings universal tab functionality on Windows with a seamless integration and a range of new features.

The tab functionality was something that Windows users had been requesting for several years, and that's why there have been multiple third-party solutions like QTTabBar, TidyTabs, or Groupy itself for some time now. However, Microsoft recently introduced this feature natively in Windows for File Explorer (yayy!). Nevertheless, the official support from the OS is limited to the File Explorer only and still lacks basic functionalities like drag and drop to group or ungroup tabs. That's why Groupy continues to be a reliable and useful alternative by offering many more features. It allows users to combine multiple applications and documents into a single window with tabs conveniently displayed in the title bar, going beyond the limitations of File Explorer alone. With the new Groupings feature, users can also save and pin groups of applications to the taskbar, enabling them to launch them simultaneously with a single click. This feature streamlines workflows and enhances productivity, particularly for those who regularly work with multiple software tools.

One of the standout features of Groupy 2 is the Accents feature, which empowers users to associate specific tasks or assignments with particular colors. By adding color to tabs, users can easily distinguish between different projects or categories, making it effortless to switch between them. The personalization options don't stop there—users can further customize their tab designs with various options, hide the Groupy icon in the tab bar and expand the mica effect to more locations. The update in general brings a new design that perfectly complements the sleek and modern aesthetic of Windows 11. Its seamless integration with File Explorer and almost every single app that users have installed makes it an essential tool for users seeking a cohesive desktop experience.

Furthermore, the company has introduced Groupy 2 for Business, catering to enterprise needs. This version offers advanced distribution tools and centralized license administration, making management and deployment a breeze.

Groupy 2 is available for purchase at a fixed price of $9.99, allowing users to install and use it on up to five devices. For those interested in accessing a suite of stardock's productivity applications, including groupy 2, Start11, Fences, WindowBlinds, Stardock DeskScapes, Multiplicity, and more, the company offers Object Desktop for $39.99.
