Your web apps and native tools, one swipe from the edge.
LiquidPad lives in your menu bar and slides a Liquid-Glass panel in from the screen edge. Gmail, Gemini, WhatsApp, a terminal, SSH, tasks, all in one keystroke, each in its own isolated session.

See everything LiquidPad does, in 2 minutes.
A quick tour of the panel, workspaces, native tools and shortcuts.
Built like a Mac app should be.
Every detail is native: the glass, the shortcuts, the window behaviour. It feels like part of macOS because it is.
Slide-over, instantly
A borderless Liquid-Glass panel glides in from the right edge on your shortcut. It floats over anything and never steals focus.
Isolated sessions
Run two Google accounts side by side. Each app can use its own cookie store, or share one. Your call, per app.
Boards & multi-view
Drag one app onto another to fuse them into a shared multi-column board with a composite icon. Split them apart anytime.
Top-level workspaces
Keep separate sets of apps (Work, Personal, a client) and flip between them with ⌘1-9. Each can have its own login profile, notification sound and Do-Not-Disturb — like separate browsers in one panel.
Group & label your workspaces
Drag one workspace onto another to file them under a collapsible group, and fold a whole set of projects away with one click. Give any workspace or group its own icon — a native SF Symbol or an emoji — as text, icon-only, or both.
Command palette
Hit ⌘K to jump to any app, board or tool, run an action, or open a saved workspace, without lifting your hands off the keyboard.
Workspace scenes
Save a set of apps as a scene (“Morning”, “Design”, “Standup”) and bring the whole layout back in one keystroke.
Universal Picture in Picture
Pop any video out into a resizable, always-on-top mini-player that keeps playing when the panel closes — full-screen and all. Or float a whole app on top. A music mini-player keeps audio going too.
Lock apps with a PIN
Vault any app behind a 4-digit PIN. It re-locks the moment the panel closes, so a glance can’t open your inbox or DMs.
Notification badges
Unread counts surface right on the rail icons, so you see what needs you without opening every app.
Real macOS notifications
Web-app notifications — Gmail, Slack, Calendar, WhatsApp — arrive as genuine macOS alerts, even while LiquidPad is the app you’re using. Click one to jump straight to that app.
1-click site tweaks
Right-click any app for ready-made native tweaks — force dark mode, hide cookie banners, kill YouTube Shorts, clean up Gmail or your feeds. A stand-in for browser extensions, no code.
Links open your way
Click a link in any app and it opens in your default browser — or keep it inside LiquidPad. Your call, flipped anytime from a one-tap toggle in the top bar.
Calls that actually ring
Add WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord or Slack and they’re kept live automatically, so an incoming call or message still rings and shows a real macOS banner, even with the panel closed.
Block ads & trackers — even on YouTube
A native content blocker (the same engine Safari uses) strips ads and trackers from every app, and a built-in YouTube ad-skipper jumps past video ads automatically. No extension, no Electron, just a faster, cleaner web.
Per-app custom scripts
Can’t install a Chrome extension? Write a snippet of JavaScript or CSS per app — it runs on every load. Hide a sidebar, force dark mode, tweak anything.
Do Not Disturb, per workspace
Mute a whole workspace with one click. Personal stays quiet during work hours — no banners, no chimes — while the badges keep counting.
Sleep a workspace
Parking a project? Put a whole workspace to sleep in one click and every app in it unloads — its RAM freed instantly. The tab stays, just dimmed with a little moon, and wakes the moment you click it. An ultra-sleek focus mode.
Quick switcher
Hold ⌥ and tap Tab to flip between your recent apps, ⌘Tab-style. Release to land. Your most-used app is always one keystroke away.
Cloud sync across your Macs
Sign in and your apps, workspaces, boards and layout follow you to every Mac. Set it up once; it’s always in sync. (Pro)
Stays logged in & instant
Sessions persist on disk, so you stay signed in across launches. Recent apps are kept warm and snapshotted, so switching back is instant — without the RAM bill of a browser.
Any website, plus native tools
Add literally any site or link, with a searchable catalog of 500+ ready-to-add apps to start from, plus a built-in terminal, SSH, focus timer and habits.
Zoom, mute, pause
⌘ +/−/0 to zoom any app or terminal. Mute a noisy tab. Pause an app to free its RAM. It reloads when you come back.
Not just web apps
Native tools, baked right in.
The same panel hosts first-class native utilities — no extra windows, no context-switching out of your flow. And we ship fast: new tools land almost every week.
Terminal
Real shells with reorderable tabs and a dark theme. Sessions stay alive in the background between opens.
SSH Manager
Save your hosts once and jump back into any of them in a tap — connections persist, addresses stay hidden until you need them.
Focus / Pomodoro
A built-in timer that keeps you in the zone.
Habits
A full calendar-year grid. Fill a cell a day.
System Monitor
CPU, memory and network at a glance.
Password autofill
SoonSign in everywhere from a secure on-device vault, synced across your Macs.
Notes & snippets
SoonScratch notes and reusable command snippets, a keystroke from any app.
Clipboard history
SoonEverything you copied, searchable and ready to paste back.
