WindowHop 1.0.0
Released on 3 July 2026. All release notes.
WindowHop 1.0.0
Added
- Window-first Command-Tab replacement: one entry per top-level window, never per tab — a Safari window with 5 tabs is one entry with a quiet "5 tabs" hint.
- Two appearances: App Icons (default, large icons, no extra permission) and optional Window Previews (live window snapshots via ScreenCaptureKit, generated locally in memory only while the switcher is open).
- Hold-based switching (⌘⇥ / ⇧⌘⇥, release to switch) plus an optional persistent "Open WindowHop" shortcut that keeps the switcher open without holding a modifier.
- Real window-level most-recently-used ordering; windows from other Spaces and displays included by default; exact-window activation.
- Close windows from the switcher (⌫ or the hover close button), always with a confirmation that also offers Quit — and a separately confirmed Force Quit for apps that refuse to quit.
- Native multi-pane Settings (General, Appearance, Updates, About), a hover Settings control on the panel, and ⌘, while the switcher is open.
- Automatic updates via Sparkle 2 (EdDSA-signed archives); update checks are the app's only network activity. No telemetry, no accounts.
- Derived from AltTab v10.12.0 (GPL-3.0), rebuilt on public Apple APIs only.
