Released on 6 July 2026. All release notes.
WindowHop 1.0.1
Added
- Instant previews: window snapshots are cached in memory (AltTab-style) so the switcher opens instantly with the last known preview, while fresh captures load in parallel and crossfade in when the content changed. Nothing is captured while the switcher is closed; snapshots stay in memory only and are evicted with their window.
- Added a confirmed "Quit WindowHop…" button in Settings → General.
Changed
- Grid instead of horizontal scrolling: many windows now wrap into multiple rows (arrow keys navigate the grid spatially); icons never shrink.
- Bigger window titles (13 pt), slightly smaller preview tiles, and much more visible close and Settings controls.
- New tagline everywhere: "Switch between windows, not just apps."
Fixed
- Every window gets its own preview: snapshot-to-window matching is now a unique assignment — two windows of the same app can no longer show the same preview; an uncertain match falls back to the app icon instead of guessing.
- Fixed duplicate entries after a missed window-close notification (the "WhatsApp appeared twice" bug): stale Accessibility elements are now detected and pruned on Space changes and when the switcher opens.
- Fixed the WindowHop Settings window sometimes not coming to the front when activated from the switcher.
