Parall lets you create independent shortcuts that run in separated spaces on your Mac. Launch multiple instances of browsers or other apps with separate data and settings, all without modifying system files or app data.
Create app, file, folder, and command-line shortcuts with custom arguments and environment variables. Shortcuts created with Parall can be pinned to your Dock for easy access, behaving just like standalone apps. You can also give any shortcut its own menu bar icon so the app is always one click away in the menu bar while it is running.
