Organize Your Workflow: App Folders in Windows Taskbar (AppGroup)

Tired of a cluttered taskbar? This free and open-source application, available on GitHub, might be just what you need! AppGroup lets you create organized folders for your apps right on your Windows taskbar.


Organize Your Apps with Ease

Imagine having all your Office apps neatly tucked away in a single folder, or your Adobe suite super easy to get to from one place. AppGroup makes this possible, letting you group your apps and pin 'em to your taskbar for quick access. Pretty cool, huh?

How to Get Started

  1. Download: Go to the GitHub releases page and download the zip file.

  2. Unzip: Extract the files to wherever you want on your computer.

  3. Run: Launch the application. It's portable, so no install needed!

Using AppGroup

  1. Create a Group: Click the plus icon, name your group (like "Productivity Apps"), and click the plus icon again to add your apps. You can also just drag and drop 'em in!

  2. Customize: Choose how many columns you want and pick an icon for your group. You can use a regular icon or a grid icon from the grouped apps.

  3. Save and Pin: When you're happy with it, click "Save." Then, click the three-dot menu, select "Open files," and drag your new group to the taskbar. Easy peasy!

Editing Groups

You can easily edit your groups anytime by selecting the group and adding or removing apps. The changes show up right away, no need to unpin anything. Nice!
