About CoolDesk
CoolDesk is a launchbar like Raycast, but designed around your project lifecycle. It transforms your new tab and desktop into one fast command surface where every tab, app, link, and note is organized by the project you’re actually working on. Project Workspaces: Instead of a generic launcher, CoolDesk organizes everything around projects. Each workspace groups the tabs, desktop apps, links, and notes for one project, so you move through a project’s lifecycle—from kickoff to daily work to wrap‑up—without losing context. AI Spotlight Search: One launchbar to find and jump to anything—tabs, desktop apps, workspaces, bookmarks, and history. Launch or focus a running app instantly, the same way you’d reach for Raycast, but scoped to the project at hand. Browser + Desktop: CoolDesk isn’t just an extension. The companion desktop app pulls your native applications into your workspaces, so a project bridges everything you use—browser and desktop—not just websites. No sign‑in required: Install it and you’re productive immediately. No account, no setup. Raycast and other launchers are built around single commands. CoolDesk is built around projects, so launching, searching, and organizing all happen in the context of the work you’re doing. You start every session exactly where you left off.

Product Updates (1)
CoolDesk v2.0.9
Fixed Sidebar/bottom-bar dock could get permanently stuck, unreachable from the in-app "back to full window" control. The docked taskbar bar (and its collapsed edge handle) could render underneath the real macOS Dock or menu bar — invisible and unclickable. macOS installs showing "CoolDesk is damaged and can't be opened" — the bundled fix script is now impossible to miss (renamed, with a README, in an arranged DMG window). The Homebrew cask was silently stuck on old versions — the update job now fails loudly instead of no-oping, and the release workflow's gh asset-URL lookup (a long-standing wrong JSON field) is fixed. AI CLI agents (Claude Code, opencode, Codex) spawned from the spotlight could fail to find a binary that works fine in Terminal, on macOS/Linux. Added Dock-to-side button in the bottom/top taskbar bar. Explicit per-layout recovery options in the tray/menu-bar icon: Full Window, Side Dock, Bottom Bar — always reachable regardless of what state the window is stuck in. Per-column accent color on the Overview dashboard. Changed Onboarding tour's wallpaper step now works in extension mode too.
