First Public Release
The first official release of Parall — a macOS utility that lets you create independent app shortcuts to launch multiple instances of the same app side by side.
Highlights
- Create app shortcuts that behave like separate applications.
- Support for custom app names and icons.
- Optional data folder separation for Chrome-based browsers.
- Fully sandboxed main app — no background processes or internet access.
- Shortcuts stay automatically up-to-date with the original app.
- Works on macOS 10.10 and newer.
This marks the beginning of the Parall project — focused on simplicity, privacy, and powerful multi-instance app management for macOS.
