RecentApps is yet another means of viewing the recent applications, documents and servers on your Mac.

Prior to macOS 10.15 (Catalina), similar functionality could be added to the Dock.

RecentApps attempts to restore that feel. It also (optionally) allows you to perform the same function from an icon in the system menubar.

You can launch applications, open documents and attach server volumes by clicking on their icon in the display.
Right clicking an icon shows further actions that can performed for the object.
