Just Zen is a panel on the edge of your screen and one key for everything else. Click Gmail and it opens in your browser — in the tab you already had open. Click Excel and the spreadsheet opens in Excel. Nothing moves house.
Pin apps, web apps, groups of either, even a spreadsheet you are living in this week. It floats above everything, on every Space, and gets out of the way. Drag icons to reorder them, drag one onto another to make a group, and drop a file on Excel to open it there.
One field over everything the machine holds: your applications, your documents (Spotlight finds them, nothing to index), the web-app library, the sites you have added yourself, and the tabs already open in Safari or Chrome. Enter goes there. ⌘Enter puts it on the panel.
Web apps go to Safari or Chrome — whichever your Mac opens links with — and Just Zen looks for the tab that already has that site before it makes another. Your profiles, extensions, passwords and sessions stay exactly where they are. Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT and Slack open through their own links, so you land inside the app.
No new place to sign in, no second set of tabs, no copy of your working life kept somewhere else. Just a faster way to the things you already have.
A small panel and a key. No embedded browser running in the background, no pages kept warm, no memory quietly eaten while you work.
No chat, no notes, no tasks, no second inbox. Just the shortest path to the apps, files and sites you already use.
No account, no sync, no telemetry. Settings in the Keychain. Open source, so you can check.
Download it, pin six things, and press ⌥Space when you need anything else.
