WinHub 1.0.0 — first stable release.

Windows comforts for macOS, as a menu-bar app. Five independent tweaks you toggle on or off — each asks for a permission only when you turn it on.

What's in 1.0

  • Close button quits the app — closing an app's last window quits it, Windows-style (graceful, so unsaved work still prompts). Built-in safe list + your own exclusions.
  • Dock hover previews — hover a Dock icon for live window thumbnails; click to jump, click ⊗ to close. Minimized windows included.
  • Snap windows to edges — Aero Snap: halves, quarter-corners, top-to-maximize, with a landing preview and pre-snap size restore. Keyboard: ⌃⌥←/→/↑/↓.
  • Snap icons to a grid — makes "Snap to Grid" the default on the desktop and in Finder. No permissions.
  • ✨ New — Dynamic notch (off by default) — a Dynamic-Island-style hub around the camera notch:
    • A music live activity beside the notch with a real-time audio visualizer that reacts to the actual sound (Core Audio tap → FFT → frequency bands, macOS 14.2+; falls back to smooth motion if you decline audio access).
    • Hover to expand into a full player — artwork with an ambient glow pulled from the cover, a live scrubber, and transport controls.
    • A shelf: drop files, links, or text on the notch to stash them, drag them back out anywhere, or AirDrop the lot. QuickLook thumbnails, persists across launches.
    • Now-playing works on macOS 15.4+ via the bundled MediaRemoteAdapter (BSD-3).

Install

brew install --cask v2matosevic/tap/winhub

Or download WinHub-1.0.0.dmg below and drag WinHub into Applications.

First launch (one time): WinHub isn't notarized, so macOS blocks the first launch. Right-click WinHub → Open → Open, or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/WinHub.app.

Requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. The notch's live audio visualizer needs macOS 14.2+.
