• Includes the Windows 10-style acrylic Option+Tab switcher, mouse selection, independent Dock/Option+Tab modes, and live previews in Option+Tab-only mode.

WindowsWindows 1.0 Preview

WindowsWindows 1.0 Preview promotes the per-window Dock workflow to the 1.0 preview line.

Highlights:

• Each proxy tile has a readable Application — Window title identity and a live window preview.
• Clicking a tile raises its exact real window, or minimizes it when already focused.
• Choosing Quit for a proxy tile now closes that exact real window through Accessibility instead of terminating and recreating the proxy.
• The bundled wwctl TUI provides validated, atomic configuration editing.
• Discovery and proxy reconciliation remain fail-closed when macOS Accessibility observations are incomplete.

The asset contains universal arm64 and x86_64 binaries for the app, proxy helper, and wwctl. It requires macOS 14 or later, Accessibility permission, and Screen Recording permission for previews. The archive is ad-hoc signed and is not notarized.
