Taskbar puts a start menu and recent apps tray on top of your screen that's accessible at any time, increasing your productivity and turning your Android tablet (or phone) into a real multitasking machine!

On devices running Android 7.0 through 8.1, Taskbar can also launch apps in freeform windows for a PC-like experience! No root required! (see below for instructions)

Taskbar is also fully supported on Chrome OS - use Taskbar as a secondary Android app launcher on your Chromebook!

Freeform window mode (Android 7.0 through 8.1)

Taskbar lets you launch apps in freeform floating windows on Android 7.0 and 7.1 (Nougat). No root access is required. Android 8.0 and 8.1 (Oreo) are also supported via an adb shell command. Versions earlier than 7.0 and later than 8.1 are not supported.

1. Check the box for "Freeform window support" inside the Taskbar app
2. Follow the directions that appear in the pop-up to enable the proper settings on your device (one-time setup)
3. Go to your device's recent apps page and clear all recent apps
4. Select an app using Taskbar to launch it in a freeform window
