A launcher? Lightweight organizer? You decide.
Files belong in their folders. Bookmarks belong in their menus. Until it’s time to get to work, and before you know it, you have 20 windows open.

Part art project, part love-letter to computers long retired, retroStrip provides a new way to access your stuff. Only it looks like an old way. Or any way you want.

Keep your things where they belong, but also a mouse-click away.

Organize by project, category, file type… however you like. A tile menu can:

• Launch your favorite apps
• Open folders or documents
• Open web links
• Open custom links (shortcuts, for example), as well as links to servers, email addresses, and phone numbers
• Display a scratchpad for to-dos and reminders

Not feeling fancy? Use as a simple launcher: only add one item per tile, and it becomes a button instead of a menu.

Eye candy on your desktop.

Choose a modern look, or choose from several vintage themes. Then decide which icon belongs on each tile. If you’re feeling bold, create your own: If you like to tinker, design your own themes and add them to the retroStrip folder in your Documents folder.
