Tungsten Edge adds a per window taskbar to macOS

Tungsten Edge is a macOS app that places a window level taskbar at the bottom of the screen, letting you switch to any open window in one click. It is written in Swift and licensed under GPL-3.0.

How the taskbar works

Every open window gets its own card, much like a Windows taskbar, so you can switch directly to any window with a single click or minimize it. Single window apps stay collapsed as compact icons so the strip does not crowd, while multi window apps such as several Finder folders or browser windows expand into separate labeled cards.

Extra organization features

The app merges native tabs for apps where tabs behave like windows, such as Ghostty and Finder, so a card stays stable as you switch tabs. Messaging apps like WeChat and Feishu get a pinned entry that mirrors the Dock red unread badge. An app drawer on the right stashes rare apps, and cards can be reordered by dragging.

Look and behavior

Tungsten Edge uses a frosted glass translucency that blends into the desktop. It can auto hide and wake from the bottom edge after a delay you choose, hiding again about 0.2 seconds after you move away. The menu bar holds session toggles such as open at login and wake delays, while an appearance settings window controls size and other visual options.

Editorial conclusion

Tungsten Edge is written in Swift, licensed under GPL-3.0, and offers ready to run builds from its official site at tungstenedge.app.
