Taskbar (Donate Version)

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 Nougat, Taskbar can also launch apps in freeform windows for a PC-like experience! No root required! (see below for instructions)

Also works great as an Android app launcher for Chromebooks! (Be sure to set your Chrome OS shelf to autohide)
