WindowHop 2.1.0
Released on 23 September 2026. All release notes.
WindowHop 2.1.0
Changed
- Grant Accessibility again after this update: WindowHop has a new bundle identifier,
com.martonpaulo.windowhop, and macOS treats it as a new app. After the update, WindowHop opens its setup window: grant Accessibility again, and Screen Recording again if you use Window Previews. You can then remove the old WindowHop entries from System Settings › Privacy & Security › Accessibility and Screen Recording. Your settings are copied on the first launch and keep their values. If Launch at login was on, WindowHop registers itself again; macOS can ask you to approve it in Login Items. - Settings is shorter and easier to scan: four panes instead of six. General shows whether WindowHop is on and whether Accessibility is allowed. Shortcuts lists the keys that work in the switcher, one row per action. Switcher holds the style, the windows it lists and where it appears, with one menu for the display. About holds the version, updates and credits. Each pane is as tall as its content, and every setting keeps its value.
- Settings are stored under versioned names: the first launch of this version moves every setting you chose to its new name and keeps its value. An older WindowHop version started afterwards keeps the settings it had before this update, and changes made in this version do not reach it.
Fixed
- Windows no longer disappear after the screen locks: after a lock, a Screen Sharing reconnect, a user switch or a sleep, the switcher could list only the current window until you changed Space or restarted WindowHop. WindowHop now ignores what apps report while the screen is locked, and checks every window again as soon as you are back.
