Stash - A tactile control layer for MacOS

by•
Stash is a hidden tactile control layer for your Mac. Reveal your Dock overflow, edge sliders, and corner dials only when you need them — then let them disappear when you’re done. Hide up to 8 apps, adjust volume and brightness, toggle appearance, control keyboard backlight, and switch audio outputs with physical-feeling controls built around haptics, subtle sound, and smooth motion. Stash runs quietly from the menu bar, includes a 24-hour free trial, and is built for macOS Tahoe.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Stash because my Dock had become full of apps I genuinely used, just not often enough to justify having them permanently visible. My need to keep everything clean kept fighting with the fact that I still wanted those apps close. Removing them made them annoying to reach, but leaving them there made my Dock feel huge and cluttered. I wanted something simple that felt native to macOS: a small hidden pocket beside the Dock where those “sometimes” apps could live, then appear the moment I needed them. That became Stash. You choose up to 6 apps, calibrate it once, and reveal them by hovering near the edge of your Dock. It is not meant to replace the Dock or become another giant launcher. It just solves one small annoyance in a way that feels like it belongs on the Mac. I’d genuinely love feedback on the idea, the experience, and where it should go next. I’m especially interested in whether people want Stash to stay extremely minimal or eventually support things like context-aware app sets. Thanks for checking it out.
