Whoa Stash

Application macOS pour gérer le son, les contrôles système et vos apps depuis les bords de l'écran.

Whoa Stash is a macOS application built around one simple idea:

The controls you use every day shouldn't have to stay in your way all day.

Stash adds an invisible control layer around your Mac. Instead of filling your screen with permanent controls, everything stays hidden until you reach for it.

Control your volume, brightness, appearance, keyboard backlight, audio output and apps directly from the edges and corners of your screen.

The experience is designed to feel native to macOS — subtle animations, tactile interactions, trackpad haptics and carefully designed transitions make every interaction feel physical.

Features

Edge Sliders

Reveal controls directly from the left or right edge of your display.

Use them for:

🔊 Volume
☀️ Brightness
🌓 Appearance
And other system controls

Corner Dials

Turn the corners of your screen into tactile controls.

Corner Dials provide a compact and satisfying way to adjust things such as:

Volume
Brightness
Keyboard backlight
Audio output

Hidden Dock

Keep your additional apps close without overcrowding your regular Dock.

Move towards the edge of your Dock and Stash smoothly reveals your hidden apps.

Your normal macOS Dock stays untouched — Stash simply works alongside it.

App Profiles

Your controls can automatically adapt to the application you're using.

Create profiles that change:

Hidden Dock apps
Edge Sliders
Corner Dials
Control configuration

For example:

Visual Studio Code
    ├── Hidden Dock → Terminal, GitHub, Safari
    ├── Left Edge   → Brightness
    └── Corner      → Volume

Spotify
    ├── Hidden Dock → Music, Messages
    ├── Left Edge   → Volume
    └── Corner      → Audio Output

Tactile interactions

Stash is designed to make system controls feel physical.

Controls feature:

Fluid animations
Trackpad haptics
Subtle interaction sounds
Detents for precise adjustments
Smooth reveal and dismissal animations

Stash Deck

Stash Deck is the companion iPhone experience.

Use your iPhone as a remote control for your Mac and adjust things like:

Volume
Brightness
App Profiles
Other configured controls

Design philosophy

Whoa Stash follows a simple design principle:

Hidden by default.

The UI shouldn't compete with the application you're currently using.

Instead, Stash appears only when you intentionally reach for it.

   Edge Slider                  Corner Dial

The result is a control layer that feels like part of macOS rather than another application window.

Requirements

macOS Tahoe or later
Apple Silicon or compatible Mac
Trackpad recommended for the full tactile experience

Stash is designed specifically around macOS system interactions and its edge-based interface.

Getting Started

Download

Setup

After launching Stash:

Configure your Hidden Dock apps.
Choose which controls should appear on each edge.
Configure your Corner Dials.
Create App Profiles if needed.
Start using Stash directly from the edges of your screen.

Once configured, the interface stays out of the way until you need it.

Architecture

Whoa Stash is designed as a native macOS experience with a strong focus on:

Native system APIs
Smooth animations
Minimal UI
Low-friction interactions
Accessibility
System-level controls
Tactile feedback

The application is intentionally built around small, focused interactions rather than large persistent interfaces.

Philosophy

Whoa Stash isn't designed to replace macOS controls.

It's designed to make them feel better.

Instead of opening Control Center, searching through menus or keeping additional apps permanently visible, Stash puts the things you use most at the exact place where you naturally reach for them.

Invisible when you don't need it. Instant when you do.
