About this app

What it does.

TIRED OF SLOW APP SWITCHING?

Stop opening the recents screen every time you need to switch apps. Dsk Mode transforms your navigation bar into a Windows-style taskbar that shows only your truly open apps - just like a desktop OS.

WHAT MAKES DSK MODE UNIQUE

  • Shows ONLY open apps - Unlike the recents screen which shows your entire app history, Dsk Mode displays only apps currently running in memory
  • Replaces your navigation bar - No other app can do this! Transform your nav bar into a powerful taskbar
  • Instant app switching - Tap any app icon to switch immediately, no recents screen needed
  • Pinned favorites - Keep your most-used apps always accessible
  • Built-in mini launcher - Quick access to all your apps with smart sorting

FREE FEATURES

  • Desktop-style taskbar showing up to 3 truly open apps

  • Toggle between popup mode and sticky mode (replaces nav bar)
  • Choose gestures or buttons in sticky mode
  • Mini app launcher with recently installed apps, A-Z and Z-A sorting

  • Full launcher access - Unlock all tabs in the mini app launcher
  • Ad-free experience - Focus on productivity without interruptions

HOW IT WORKS

Dsk Mode transforms your system navigation bar into a desktop-style taskbar. Switch between popup mode (appears when needed) or sticky mode (shows always on your nav bar). Your truly open apps appear as icons, just like Windows or Mac OS taskbars.
