A macOS status-bar panel that keeps a real multi-tab browser and a real terminal one hotkey away — ⌘⌥P from any app. Slide it out, work, slide it away; tabs, scrollback, and sessions are preserved. Native Swift + SwiftUI, not Electron.

Anyone who lives on a Mac and toggles between docs/web and a shell: developers, data folks, writers who research, students, sysadmins. If you've ever cmd-tabbed to Terminal 40 times a day, ZPad is for you.

macOS 15.1 (Sequoia) or later, Apple Silicon (M1–M4). Release builds are arm64 only; there is no Intel build today.

Launchers start apps and hand you off. ZPad is the destination: the browser and terminal live inside it permanently, state preserved, zero launch latency, one hotkey to show/hide. See the feature summary.

It can, but it shines as your quick-access surface: docs lookups, dashboards, git/build commands, Claude Code sessions. Your heavy sessions stay wherever they are; ZPad removes the switching tax between them.

30 days, fully functional, no credit card. No feature is held back, no watermarks. The trial starts when you accept it in onboarding — merely launching the app never burns a day.

A one-time $69 founding lifetime license — first 500 licenses, then it rises to $99. No subscription, no renewal, no seat games. Buying now locks the founding price in forever.

One payment for the current product line, including its updates, for as long as the product exists (full terms in the EULA). If pricing or packaging ever changes, existing licenses stay valid under their original terms.

Up to 3 Macs per license — personal laptop, desktop, and work machine included. Need to free a slot? Deactivate an old device yourself in the in-app license screen.

Yes — an activated license works fully offline for up to 14 consecutive days (validated locally with signed keys). Reconnect within the window and it re-confirms silently.

Full refund within 14 days, no questions asked. Email [email protected] with your order details. Full text in the Refund Policy.

Check the purchase email first (search for “ZPad”). Still missing? Email us from the address you bought with and we'll recover it via the license API.

Each license covers one person across up to 3 of their Macs. For team volume purchases, email [email protected] and we'll sort you out.

Yes — the terminal is a real emulator (SwiftTerm) with a full PTY. claude, aider, git, docker, ssh, vim: if it runs in Terminal.app it runs here. Scrollback survives every hide/show.

Saved, switchable sets of tabs — one for each project or context. Each workspace keeps its own browser tabs, terminal sessions, and layout. Switching is instant and lossless. See the guide.

Yes — ⌘K opens it globally (even while the panel is hidden); ⌘⇧A opens a tab-switcher scope. Fuzzy-search everything: actions, tabs, workspaces.

Yes, as a beta: bring your own OpenAI-compatible provider (OpenAI, DeepSeek, local Ollama…) — API key stored in Keychain, history stored locally. You control the model, temperature, and system prompt. Setup: guide.

Four: side panel right (default), side panel left, centered modal, and dropdown under the menu-bar icon. Toggle directly with ⌘⌥1/2/3 or set a default in Settings.

Yes — English and 简体中文 built in; follow the system or force either in Settings → Primary → Language.

No. Analytics is opt-in and off by default. Browsing data, terminal sessions, chat history, and API keys stay on your Mac (keys in Keychain). The complete list of network calls — favicon lookups, licensing, optional update checks — is published in the Privacy Disclosure.

Yes — Developer ID signed, Apple notarized, and stapled, published only via the official download page. If macOS calls a download “damaged”, don't bypass Gatekeeper: re-download from the official page.

License lookups send your key, device identifier, and app version — used only to enforce device limits and revocation. No browsing or terminal data ever leaves your Mac. See the privacy matrix.

Delete it and re-download from the official download page. Genuine notarized builds open cleanly; never bypass Gatekeeper warnings. Full steps in the troubleshooting guide.

Another app (Raycast, BetterTouchTool, input-method switchers) probably owns the shortcut. Check its settings, or use the menu-bar icon / mode shortcuts ⌘⌥1/2/3 instead.

That's the screen-edge hot zone. Turn it off: Settings → Behavior → hot-zone trigger, and keep hotkey-only summoning.

Check the pasted key is complete and you're online; if you're at 3 Macs, deactivate one first. Still failing — email us with your order ID. Details: license guide.

Settings → System → Check for updates (signed metadata), or download the latest DMG and drag over — settings and license carry over. Enable automatic checks in Settings → Privacy if you prefer hands-off.
