A Windhawk taskbar launcher that starts and stops configurable working sets of applications, folders, editor workspaces, URLs and terminal commands with one action.
Each item's settings card shrinks to nine fields with a single Options line, items can be added and edited from the panel itself, and rarely used global settings are gone.
