😳 Explain why it should be added
Parall - The Parallel App Launcher is a tool that creates a small shortcut bundle that runs another app by user choice.
That is my another first of its kind app that has no alternatives for macOS.
Target app is inheriting the shortcut bundle behavior. This leads to awesome features that have never been implemented on macOS before the Parall did:
- Launch multiple instances of the same app side by side.
- Each shortcut behaves like a separate app in the Dock with its own icon and state.
- App data redirect supported for almost all non sandboxed macOS apps.
- Automatically erases a shortcut's data folder when the shortcut closes.
- Shortcuts always stay in sync whenever the original app updates.
- Add a tray menu icon to control any app.
- For supported browsers get quick actions from tray menu icon to open new windows.
- Assign unique icons or add draw text label to easily distinguish profiles in the Dock.
- Control menu bar behavior in native full screen for supported apps and force the menu bar to always show or always auto hide for Chrome based browsers.
- Experimental control of Dock icon visibility for advanced setups that need special Dock behavior.
- Add command line parameters or flags for each shortcut.
- Advanced Info.plist overrides for fine grained app behavior tuning.
- Define environment variables per shortcut for flexible control and behavior separation.
- Parall runs only when you use it. No background processes.
- Offline and private. Operates entirely offline and never transmits any data.
