PopStack

Hi all, My frustrations with macOS' Stacks feature forced my hand. I utilize my Desktop quite a bit. I thought native Stacks would solve my organization problem, but trying to use them in practice is cumbersome and glitchy. If you open a stack with more than a handful of files, your screen just turns into a gigantic mess and your GPU stutters. So I created PopStack. Simply click a Desktop folder and PopStack opens a fast popover so you can peak & access the contents right there (icon grid or list view), without opening Finder windows all over your screen. - Optional Auto‑Sort: If you want, PopStack can sort Desktop files via configurable rules into folders (a native Stacks-style alternative, but more customizable). - Smart Icons (optional): PopStack can automatically generate “stacked thumbnail” folder icons for folders it manages (again, to replace Stacks). - Native + lightweight: Built to feel Mac-native and stay snappy. I'm definitely open to feedback! I have a couple nice improvements planned. I'm hoping it's as useful for others as it has been for me. Let me know if you any questions!

Hi @chasegiunta I purchased last night as this is exactly what I was looking for in the quest to keep my desktop tidy but really functional. The only thing with the purchase process is that there are no links to the app download after you purchase. It did take me to what looked like a GitHub page automatically after purchase, but I couldn't download at the time as I was on my phone. Now I can't access the app to install. I have sent an email separately, but just wanted to let you know here in case you don't get the email. Looking forward to using PopStack 😎

Hi, does this also work on Linux?
