O que é Stash?
Stash is a macOS utility for reaching apps and system controls without keeping additional interface elements permanently visible. It runs from the menu bar and places controls around the edges and corners of the display.
Its main controls include a Hidden Dock, an App Launcher, Edge Sliders for volume, brightness, and appearance, and Corner Dials for volume, brightness, keyboard backlight, and audio output. App Profiles can change the configured apps and controls based on the app in use, while Stash Deck extends selected controls and app launching to an iPhone.
O que Stash pode fazer?
Edge Sliders
Assign the left and right screen edges independently to controls such as volume, brightness, or appearance.
Corner Dials
Use interactive quarter dials in the screen corners for volume, brightness, keyboard backlight, and audio output. Dials can also be detached into floating controls and returned to supported corners.
App Profiles
Automatically change the Hidden Dock, Edge Sliders, and Corner Dials according to the app currently in use.
Stash Deck for iPhone
Control the Mac from an iPhone, send an app from the phone to open on the Mac, and use supported widgets such as Spotify, Timer, Claude Code, and Codex.
Creative Pro
The planned Creative Pro extension for Stash Deck provides contextual tools, precision sliders, color controls, and app-specific tool groups for Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Blender.
