Desktop mode (Android 10+ requires external display)

Taskbar supports Android 10’s built-in desktop mode functionality. You can connect your compatible Android 10+ device to an external display and run apps in resizable windows with Taskbar’s interface running on your external display and your existing launcher still running on your phone.

Desktop mode requires a USB-to-HDMI adapter (or a lapdock) and a compatible device that supports video output. Additionally certain settings require granting a special permission via adb.

To get started open up the Taskbar app and click “Desktop mode”. Then just tick the checkbox and the app will guide you through the setup process. For more information click the (?) icon in the upper-right hand corner of the screen.

Freeform window mode (Android 7.0+ no external display required)

Taskbar lets you launch apps in freeform floating windows on Android 7.0+ devices. No root access is required although Android 8.0 8.1 and 9 devices require an adb shell command to be run during initial setup.

Simply follow these steps to configure your device for launching apps in freeform mode:

1. Check the box for “Freeform window support” inside the Taskbar app
2. Follow the directions that appear in the pop-up to enable the proper settings on your device (one-time setup)
3. Go to your device’s recent apps page and clear all recent apps
4. Start Taskbar then select an app to launch it in a freeform window

For more information and detailed instructions click “Help & instructions for freeform mode” inside the Taskbar app.

This app uses Accessibility services.
