AppTela information
What is AppTela?
AppTela is a powerful, beautiful way to organize and access your apps. Arrange them across Screens, Categories, Groups, and Stacks. Make it yours.
One-time purchase. No subscription.
Create multiple Screens for different contexts - Work, Creative, Utilities. Switch between them instantly. Organize apps into Categories, bundle them into Groups, or stack them visually with Stacks that expand on hover or click.
Launch Stacks open every app in the stack with one click - perfect for morning routines or project setups.
Drag and drop to rearrange apps freely within or across Screens. Nest Groups within Groups for deeper organization.
AppTela adapts to any window size - from compact to fullscreen. Icons arrange themselves to fit. Go fullscreen with its own background settings, or keep it always on top.
Every visual detail is yours to control with live preview. Set different backgrounds for fullscreen and windowed modes. Use your own wallpaper, gradient fills, or turn on Glass for a modern look.
Full color control for backgrounds, borders, text, and icon edges. Set icon and label sizes independently. A unique directional shadow engine casts shadows on icons and labels - clock-based or fixed angle.
Choose single-click or double-click to launch. Keep AppTela open, minimize, or close after launching. Type to instantly filter apps. Choose from 10 languages.
Add apps from any folder on your Mac. Rename anything. Lock your layout to prevent accidental changes. Export and import your entire setup to back up or transfer to another Mac.
