To trigger Slidepad on my second monitor I simply drag the cursor over to the left side of the screen and it pops out in less than a second. I chose the left side because that way I can quickly view the bookmarked pages without the browser covering existing windows on my main monitor. But because I have two monitors, I have to park the application either on the right side of my main iMac monitor, or on the far left side of my Dell monitor. You can drag and assign Slidepad to the left or right side of your monitor. Slidepad’s multi-screen follow mouse feature means that will slide onto the screen that the mouse is currently on.

So far I use Slidepad to quickly view several sites, including my Feedly RSS feed account, and my Amazon, Twitter, YouTube and ClickUp task management accounts. Note also, that Slidepad also functions like SuperTab, another favorite application of mine that can be triggered your my trackpad. The browser slides into view and it automatically hides itself when you switch to another application. Similar to the Biscuit web browser I recently reviewed, Slidepad is not a full blown web browser, but its purpose is for quickly viewing bookmarked sites by simply dragging your mouse to the side of your desktop screen. The application is called Slidepad, and it works similar to the slide over window feature in the iPad.
