About Tungsten Edge

ONE SENTENCE

Tungsten Edge is a per-window taskbar for macOS — a Dock replacement that organizes by window, not app.

ONE PARAGRAPH

Tungsten Edge is a taskbar app for the Mac. The macOS Dock is organized by app; Tungsten Edge gives every window its own place on the bar: every window in view, one click away. It borrows the way the Windows taskbar handles windows, without the clutter — an app with only one window open shows as a plain icon, and its interface and design take after native macOS.

IN MORE DETAIL

The macOS Dock shows one icon per app, however many windows that app has open. Tungsten Edge puts the windows themselves on a bar along the bottom of the screen, each in its own place, so you can see what is open at a glance and click straight to the one you want. An app with only one window open shows as a plain icon, which keeps the bar compact.

Most of the work went into making switching precise and predictable. Click a window and that window comes forward. Minimize the front window and the one directly behind it takes over. Switch tabs, minimize, restore — its place on the bar does not move. With more than one display, each screen can have its own bar.

It takes the window logic of the Windows taskbar, not its clutter. The look and the interactions stay close to macOS, with native Liquid Glass on macOS 26 and later. There are no CPU meters, calendars or clocks: the download is 4.5 MB, it idles under 0.7% CPU, and it uses about 100 MB of memory over long sessions.
