I was looking for a way to dump web sites, applications, and folder locations into a custom panel menu and I couldn’t find anything that did what I wanted so I created this app. You can add a list of apps, URLs, and places in a simple text file and the menu GUI will automatically rebuild itself. Perfect for developers or power users who want a custom menu with just the stuff they want. Download
