CoolDesk

CoolDesk turns your new tab (and your desktop) into a workspace: your tabs, apps, files, workspaces and widgets in one place. You can search all of it from a single spotlight. 2.0.16 is about making the new tab yours: - 🧩 Five new tab layouts: Classic, Mirror, Split, Stacked and Focus. Show or hide widgets, the activity feed, Favorites or single feed tabs. You can also go Zen and see just your wallpaper. - 📐 Custom layout: every part of the page becomes a card on a macOS-style widget grid. Drag cards anywhere, resize them from 1×1 to 6×6, and give a feed section like Media or Search its own card. - 🖼️ 25 Featured wallpapers: hand-picked abstract art and landscapes in 4K, with a soft vignette. - 🔍 Widgets that fit their card: the clock, weather, timers and countdowns grow in big cards and shrink in small ones. List widgets show more rows instead. - 🪟 See-through glass widgets and no scrollbars: panels fade out at the edge instead. Also in CoolDesk: - ⚡ One spotlight for tabs, history, apps and files (/u, /a, /f) - 🤖 An /agent that suggests workspaces from how you actually browse. Nothing changes until you press Apply. - 💻 Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, plus a Chrome extension Install: winget install CoolDesk.CoolDesk · brew install --cask cooldesk · AppImage for Linux 👉 https://github.com/abhayraghuwanshi/cooldesk-extension/releases/tag/v2.0.16 Feedback is welcome. I'd love to see the layouts you build! 🙌

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.
