First Release

Oct 20, 2025

Parall 1.0.0

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.
