Tungsten Edge 钨极 v0.1.0
Tungsten Edge 钨极 · v0.1.0
The first public early-access build. A window-oriented bottom taskbar for macOS that replaces the system Dock.
Note: the app UI is currently Chinese only; an English/localized UI is planned. The README is available in English and 中文.
✨ Highlights
- Window-level taskbar — one card per window; multi-window apps split into multiple cards; click to switch, click again to minimize.
- Smart native-tab merging — Ghostty / Finder tab groups keep a stable card across tab switches and minimize.
- Pinned messaging apps + unread badges mirroring the Dock.
- App drawer — stash rarely-used apps; pin favorites as a launcher.
- Drag to organize — reorder, stash into the drawer, and drag back to a precise spot.
- Frosted-glass look + multi-display follow.

- macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later

中文
第一个公开的早期试用版本。一个以「窗口」为单位的 macOS 底部任务条,用来替代系统程序坞。
✨ 亮点
- 窗口级任务条:每个打开的窗口一张卡片,点一下切到那个窗口、再点最小化。多窗口应用拆成多张卡片,开了什么一眼看清。
- 原生标签智能合并:Ghostty、访达这类「标签即窗口」的应用,切标签时卡片不乱跳、不分裂;最小化也不丢卡。
- 消息应用常驻 + 红圈角标(镜像系统 Dock)。
- 应用抽屉:不常用的应用收进抽屉,还能固定常用应用当启动器。
- 拖拽整理:拖动排序、拖进抽屉收纳、从抽屉拖回任务条并落在松手的精确位置。
- 磨砂玻璃质感 + 多屏跟随。

- macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) 及以上
- Intel 与 Apple 芯片均可(通用二进制)
