About:
Slidepad is a window management utility that brings iPad-style 'Slide Over' functionality to the Mac. It allows users to quickly summon and dismiss floating, resizable browser windows that stay on top of other applications. This enhances multitasking by providing instant access to web content without disrupting the main workspace layout.
Key Features:
  • Slide-over floating browser windows
  • Always-on-top functionality
  • Minimalist, distraction-free interface
  • Quick toggle visibility
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring live data or dashboards while working in other apps
  • Quickly referencing web information without switching windows
  • Keeping communication tools like chat or email accessible
Alternatives:
  • Afloat – System-level window management with more features but requires SIP disable
  • Helium – Similar floating browser concept, focused on media consumption
