How do you organize your folders and files?
You want quick access to any folder or file. But you also want to keep your desktop nice and clean. That’s why I made Alias Diver.
Once installed, the “Alias Diver Menu” appears in the menu bar. From there, you can quickly access the folders and files you use most often. You can even dive straight into folders buried deep inside your SSD. How you use it is entirely up to you. You can even use it as an app launcher!
Getting Started
Launch the app, and the “Alias Diver Menu” will appear as shown in the image on the right. First, select “Open AliasDive Folder” to open the “AliasDive Folder.”
Put aliases to your frequently used folders, files, and apps in the “AliasDive Folder.” Name them using: 「3-digit number + [color name] + file name」. Items appear in the menu in numerical order based on the first three digits, but the numbers themselves are not shown. You can also change a folder’s color by adding a color name. Finder tag colors are supported too, so just use whichever method you prefer.
Three underscores “___” work as a separator. Try:「3-digit number + ___」. You can use separators to organize your folders and files into categories. Group things by purpose, type, or whatever makes sense to you. It makes the menu much easier to browse.
The 12 colors shown on the left can be used for folder colors. Just put the color name inside [ ]. And if typing color names feels like too much trouble, you can simply use Finder tag colors instead.
Enjoy making your Mac even more convenient!
