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.

一句话
Tungsten Edge 钨极是一款以窗口为单位的 macOS Dock 栏——替代系统 Dock，让窗口一目了然。

一段话
钨极是一款 Mac 上的 Dock 栏软件。macOS 的 Dock 栏以应用为单位，钨极让每个窗口都在 Dock 栏上有自己的位置：窗口一目了然，一点就到。它借鉴 Windows 任务栏的窗口操作逻辑，但是不要它的臃肿，只开一个窗口的应用以图标的形式呈现，UI 风格和设计理念都继承自原生 macOS。

详细一点
macOS 的 Dock 栏以应用为单位：一个应用开了几个窗口，都只有一个图标。钨极把窗口本身放在屏幕底边的一条栏上，每个窗口有自己的位置，开了什么一眼看到，想要哪个点一下就到。只开一个窗口的应用只显示图标，整条栏更紧凑。

功夫主要花在「准」和「稳」上：点哪个窗口就到哪个；最小化最前面的窗口，接手的就是它正后面那个；切标签、最小化、再还原，它在栏上的位置不动。用多块屏幕时，每块屏可以有自己的栏。

借鉴的是 Windows 任务栏的窗口操作逻辑，界面和交互尽量往 macOS 靠，macOS 26 起用原生的液态玻璃。没有放 CPU 仪表、日历或时钟这类组件：安装包 4.5 MB，空闲时 CPU 占用低于 0.7%，长时间运行内存约 100 MB。

写法与事实
名称：中文写「Tungsten Edge 钨极」（中间一个空格，不加斜杠），行文可以简称「钨极」；正文里叫「任务栏」也可以。
开发者：Moonbai Studio
系统要求：macOS 12 Monterey 及以上，Intel 与 Apple 芯片通用
价格：目前免费。1.0 起改为一次性买断，不做订阅。在那之前到官网登记并确认邮箱的用户，永久免费。
源码：GPL-3.0-or-later 开源，https://github.com/moonbai-studio/tungsten-edge
安装：从 https://tungstenedge.app/ 下载已签名、已公证的安装包，或 brew install --cask tungsten-edge（Homebrew 官方仓库）
界面语言：简体中文、繁体中文、英文、日文、德文、法文
隐私：需要「辅助功能」权限，用来读取窗口信息、把你点的窗口带到最前；不申请「屏幕录制」。没有统计上报，唯一自动联网是检查更新。
数字：安装包 4.5 MB；空闲时 CPU 占用低于 0.7%；长时间运行内存约 100 MB；1,198 项单元测试，其中 375 项专测窗口识别与切换
认可与背书：2026 年 9 月 22 日在 Reddit 的 r/macapps 发帖，当天到了版块第一；美国知名 Mac 开发者 Brett Terpstra（Markdown 预览工具 Marked 的作者）把钨极收进了他 2026 年 9 月 24 日的链接精选 Web Excursions；收进 GitHub 上的 Mac 软件清单 awesome-mac；早期版本的介绍文章发在少数派，进了 Matrix 精选
