⚠️ BETA RELEASE WARNING
This is an unstable pre-release version intended for testing purposes only.

✨ New Features

  • Window Actions menu in the menu bar
    • Lists every running app and its windows — minimize, close, quit, hide, tile into halves/quarters, center, toggle full screen, bring to current Space, or open a new window, all without hovering the Dock
  • Full window actions in preview right-click menus
    • Right-click any preview for tiling, centering, hiding, bringing to current Space, and opening new windows, grouped into Window/Arrange/Application sections
  • New "System Main Display" option for Dock locking
    • Settings > Dock Locking > "Lock Dock to" — keeps the Dock on whichever screen currently holds the menu bar
  • Alternate switcher shortcut can use its own modifier key
    • Settings > Gestures/Keybinds > Window Switcher Shortcuts > Alternate Shortcut — pick Control, Option, or Command independently of your main shortcut
    • Escape can now be captured as part of the alternate shortcut

🔧 Improvements & Stability

  • Window switcher and Dock previews scroll and render more smoothly, especially with many windows open
  • Dock hover, scroll, and click handling now only activate when your mouse is actually near the Dock, avoiding unnecessary background work elsewhere on screen
  • Switcher opens instantly and fills in windows as they're found instead of briefly freezing when empty
  • Window switcher refreshes up to every 5 seconds instead of 60
    • Newly opened or closed windows, including ones from terminal-launched apps, show up much faster
    • Your current selection is preserved if the list refreshes in the background, instead of possibly jumping around
  • Switcher hotkey responds faster when your fullscreen-app blacklist (Settings) is empty
  • DockDoor recovers more reliably after sleep or a display/resolution change
  • Unresponsive apps no longer stall Dock hover, previews, or the switcher
  • Dock locking now moves the real Dock to your locked screen automatically
    • Previously required manually pushing your cursor to that screen's edge; you can still override with the bypass modifier
  • Locked-display and pinned-switcher-display choices survive reboots and reconnects
  • Settings warns when a locked display's Dock edge is covered by another screen
    • Shown in Settings > Dock Locking with a suggestion to rearrange displays in System Settings > Displays
  • Pressing Return now selects the highlighted window in the switcher
  • Window switcher stays centered while search-filtering resizes it
  • Traffic-light action buttons redesigned as glossy 3D orbs matching newer macOS style
  • Cmd-W, Cmd-M, and standard Edit shortcuts now work in the Settings window
    • Includes Cmd-Z undo, Cmd-C/V/X, Cmd-A, and Cmd-Q to quit
  • DockDoor Pro promotion is more visible
    • Settings > General shows a banner clarifying DockDoor Free has no paywall, with Pro's $20 one-time price and 3-Mac / 14-day guarantee
    • "Get DockDoor Pro…" added to the menu bar menu and Settings > Support

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Clicking a Dock icon no longer leaves the Dock stuck open after auto-hide
  • Selected window stays visible when the card background is hidden
    • Settings > Appearance > "Hide preview card background" now still shows an accent-colored selection border
  • Meeting-reminder toasts (like Outlook's) no longer appear in the window switcher
  • Scrolling works again in Dock hover previews
  • Untitled system overlay windows no longer show up as fake app windows in previews
  • Preview thumbnails capture correctly under Stage Manager instead of sometimes appearing blank
  • "Quit app when its last window closes" now works reliably
    • Correctly quits after you close the final window via Cmd+W or from a preview, without prematurely quitting busy apps
  • Apps that quit silently no longer leave stale entries in the switcher or Dock previews
  • Tab titles update reliably even when several tabs change at once
  • Collapsed tabs keep whichever tab is actually visible on screen
    • With "Collapse tabs into a single window" on, the on-screen tab is no longer hidden behind a background tab
  • Pinned media-control widgets no longer steal the spacebar from the app you're using
  • Closing or minimizing a window from the switcher no longer closes the switcher itself
  • Windows on other Spaces are recognized as separate windows instead of merging into your current one
  • Settings mockup previews no longer respond to clicks or hovers as if they were real windows
  • Fixed a crash/hang that could occur while typing to search in the window switcher
  • Stray cached window data no longer lingers after closing Settings
