About Dsk Mode
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
• Pin up to 3 favorite apps for instant access
• 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
• Multiple color themes including dynamic theming
UPGRADE TO SUPPORT DEV PACK:
• Unlimited open apps - See all your running apps at once
• Unlimited pinned apps - Pin as many favorites as you want
• 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.
PERFECT FOR:
• Mobile professionals juggling multiple apps
• Anyone frustrated with Android's recents screen
• Users who want desktop-like multitasking on mobile
• Power users who value speed and efficiency
