Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is TabLift?

TabLift is a lightweight, open-source macOS utility that restores minimized app windows when switching with Cmd+Tab. By default, macOS ignores minimized windows unless you hold the Option key. TabLift fixes this, making app switching intuitive and seamless.

How does TabLift work?

TabLift runs quietly in the background. When you use Cmd+Tab to switch apps, TabLift automatically restores any minimized windows for the selected application, so you never lose track of your open apps.

Is TabLift free?

Yes! TabLift is completely free and open-source. You can download it, use it, and even contribute to its development on GitHub.

Which versions of macOS does TabLift support?

TabLift supports macOS 13 (Ventura) and newer. It is designed for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

Does TabLift collect any personal data?

TabLift does not collect any personal or sensitive information. Only anonymized usage data such as app version, macOS version, and basic feature usage may be collected to help improve the app. For more details, see our Privacy Policy.

How do I uninstall TabLift?

To uninstall TabLift, simply quit the app and move it to the Trash from your Applications folder.
