## 🤔 What is this?

Tabame (Ta-ba-me -> **TA**sk**BA**r**ME**nu) started as a Windows taskbar replacement. I don't like the flashing icons, the badges, the notifications and all the stuff Microsoft keeps pushing into my face. So I made a little popup menu (the **QuickMenu**) that shows my open windows, my audio, my pinned apps - and nothing else unless I ask for it.

Then I kept getting ideas. "It'd be nice if I could also..." - and that's how it grew into the thing you see now: a launcher, launcher plugins, a media player, screenshot and drawing tools, a password vault, an authenticator, reminders, activity tracking, file utilities, and a pile of small things I use every day that now total more than 300,000+ lines of code.

It's all made by one person (me), for the way I actually use my computer. It's free, it's open source, and it tries to stay out of your way until you press a hotkey.

### The best way to use it

### ● QuickMenu

QuickMenu works best with mouse interaction, so try to use a Mouse Button:

- **A mouse side button** - most mice have them, and it's the nicest way to summon the menu.
- **Any extra mouse button** - open your mouse software, bind the button to something like `CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F9`, then set that same combo inside Tabame.
- **No spare buttons?** Use something easy for your fingers like `WIN+SHIFT+Z` (or `A`).

### ● Launcher

Launcher works best with keyboard, so use a hotkey that is easy to reach:

- `WIN+SHIFT+A` or `WIN+SPACE` or even `Double Alt` or `Right Alt`

If you want to browse opened windows but do no want to open QuickMenu, setup a hotkey like `Win+Shift+D` that will have as trigger "Start Launcher with Prefix" and put the windows prefix `.`

### ● QuickClick

A easy to reach keyboard shortcut, like `Right Alt` or `ALT+,`

### ● FancyShot

You will need to use the mouse, so either setup the QuickMenu hotkey with a "move left/right" or hold duration to trigger Fancyshot.

# 📥 How to install

## Microsoft Store

Easiest fastest and safest way with auto updates: Download it from [Microsoft Store](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9pd3c6hzf5lj):

</a>

## Manual Way:

Download the ZIP Archive from [Releases](https://github.com/Far-Se/tabame/releases/) then extract it wherever you want then open `tabame.exe`

I didn't make a `.msi` installer because it's another app that needs to pass that annoying Windows popup.

<!--- `*-setup.exe` is the recommended installer. It installs just for your account without an administrator prompt.-->

<!--- `*.zip` is portable. Extract it anywhere and run `tabame.exe`.-->

Settings, plugins, and other user data are stored in Tabame's application support folder. Open Settings → Integration & Maintenance and use the data-folder link to find it. Existing data from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Tabame` is copied there automatically the next time Tabame starts.

### 📤 How to uninstall:

Either **Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Tabame → Uninstall**. Or Open Tabame -> Settings -> Config -> Scroll down and press Uninstall.
