Fast Toggles is a system of buttons that give you shortcut access to some of the actions you use the most on your Mac computer. Instead of taking two or three steps to access files and features, hit a Toggle button and get it done in one. It is like having iOS 7 Control Center on your Mac…
The bundle of Fast Toggles is not exactly an app so much as a file download that can be added to your desktop or Mac dock. The list of Toggles shows up like they would as a folder on your desktop. You can create a desktop icon, put the entire Fast Toggles bundle in your Mac’s dock, or pick individual Toggles that you use the most for even faster access.
App Use
After you download the bundle, open the file and move the Fast Toggles icon to your applications folder. Then, drag the Fast Toggles application to your desktop. You can also drag the icon directly to your dock if you are trying to keep your desktop clean.
That’s not all, there is a toggle hides your desktop icons to make your desktop look empty without you having to remove icons and folders. This is a great feature for people who feel like they can’t get things done with a messy desk. It makes you feel like your computer screen is clear of clutter, without you doing the work to clean it up.
In addition to the hide/unhide desktop icons Toggle, the bundle includes an on/off switch for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, one-click lock screen, sleep mode, restart and trash empty, a quick eject for all mounted drives and DMGs, a button to quit all apps at once, and a Toggle to mute or un-mute your Mac’s volume.
For those of you who actively use the Launchpad feature on your Mac, the Toggles will already be displayed for you individually, the way the other apps are on the desktop. Simply select the one you want.
The developers of Fast Toggles regularly put the bundle on sale. In June, it was listed at only $1.99 and just this past weekend, it was listed as a Paddle deal for $4.99. On Sunday, the company tweeted a discount code for 80% off (which may or may not still be good). So, if the full $9.99 price tag is too high. I suggest following Fast Toggles on Twitter to keep up to date on sales. You can download the Fast Toggles bundle for Mac from the company’s website today.
