Glance 1.4.0

Added

• Chrome and Microsoft Edge window tiles show a white, single-line profile-name badge centered on the bottom border at the right when available.
• Settings → Appearance: choose a small, medium or large app icon on window thumbnails.
• Hidden apps (⌘H) and apps whose windows are all minimized or closed now appear in
  the switcher as an app icon tile. Choosing one unhides the app, or reopens it the
  way a Dock click does, which brings back a minimized window. Turn it off in
  Settings → Switcher.

Changed

• The selected tile in the switcher now has a blue border as well as the grey fill.

Fixed

• Drag-to-switch now follows the drag for any dragged item, not only files, text,
  images and the other types the switcher registered for.
• While dragging over the switcher, ⇥ can move the selection again: the tile under a
  resting drag no longer snaps it back.
• A drag-mode switcher that opens under a still drag no longer picks the tile that
  happens to be under the pointer.
• Moving the selection with the keyboard now hides the close button on the tile
  under the pointer; it comes back when you move the mouse.

Glance 1.3.1

Fixed

• The native macOS switcher no longer shows up instead of Glance's when you press
  ⌘⇥ in a password field. macOS (seen on macOS 27) could turn its own ⌘⇥ back on,
  and Glance now turns it off again on app switches, wake and Dock restarts.

Glance 1.3.0

Added

• Close windows and quit apps from the switcher: hover a tile and click the ✕ in
  its corner to close that window, or hold ⌥ (⌘ with the ⌥⇥ shortcut) and click
  to quit its app. W and Q do the same for the selected tile. The switcher stays
  open so you can close several in a row, and a tile comes back if its window
  stays open, for example when you cancel a "Save changes?" dialog.

Glance 1.2.0

Added

• Same-app window switcher: turn it on in Settings → Shortcut, then ⌘ (or ⌥
  with the ⌥⇥ shortcut) works like ⌘⇥ but shows only the front app's windows.
  A quick tap jumps to that app's previous window. With ⌘⇥ it replaces macOS's
  own ⌘` window cycling. Its tiles are about 30% larger than ⌘⇥'s, since it
  usually lists only a few windows.
• Multiple displays: Settings → Switcher can show the panel on the active
  window's display instead of the pointer's, and can list only the windows on
  that display.

Fixed

• A quick ⌘⇥ while dragging a file now switches straight to the previous window
  and the drag carries on into it, instead of opening the switcher. Hold ⌘ a
  moment longer to get the switcher and pick a window with the drag.
• Switching windows by dragging a file over a tile no longer leaves a frozen
  switcher on screen when the drag pauses afterwards.
• Thumbnails no longer pop in one by one on the first ⌘⇥ after using the
  same-app switcher (⌘`) or "Only show windows on that display". Glance kept only
  the thumbnails of the windows that switcher showed and dropped the rest.

Glance 1.1.0

Added

• Releases now include a signed and notarized Glance.dmg, so you can install
  Glance without building it yourself.
• Glance tells you when a new version is out. It checks GitHub at most once a
  day, shows Glance X.Y.Z Available… in the menu bar menu, and has
  Check for Updates… in the menu and an Updates section in Settings. It
  never downloads or installs anything by itself, and you can turn automatic
  checks off.

Glance 1.0.3

Fixed

• Short windows with a title, such as Finder's "Emptying the Trash…" progress
  window, now show up in the switcher.

Glance 1.0.2

Fixed

• Switching to a window could activate its app without bringing the window to the
  front, if the window had been on another Space or in full screen earlier.

Glance 1.0.1

Fixed

• Browser popups, such as Microsoft Edge's address-bar suggestions, no longer show
  up as windows in the switcher.

Glance 1.0.0

The first release.

Added

• Windows-style window switcher on ⌘⇥: one tile per window, most recently used
  first. A quick tap jumps straight to the previous window without drawing anything.
• Live window thumbnails (ScreenCaptureKit), or app icons only.
• Windows from every Space, including full-screen apps. Choosing a window on
  another Space switches to it.
• Keyboard (⇥ / ⇧⇥, arrows, ↩, Esc) and mouse (hover, click) control.
• Drag-to-switch: while dragging a file, text or image, ⌘⇥ keeps the panel open.
  Hover a window to bring it forward and drop into it.
• Works in secure text fields (password inputs) via registered hotkeys.
• Settings window: launch at login, menu bar icon, ⌘⇥ or ⌥⇥ shortcut,
  Spaces scope, panel delay, theme (System / Light / Dark), thumbnails or icons,
  size, window titles, excluded apps, permission status.
• Menu bar icon and app icon (Icon Composer, full-size on macOS 26).
• Clean panel that follows light and dark mode, with a soft shadow.
