What is AeroTabs?

AeroTabs is a lightweight macOS menu bar companion for the AeroSpace window manager. It shows all workspace windows as clickable tabs with app icons — click any tab to bring that window to focus.

Features

• Window tabs in menu bar — see all workspace windows with app icons at a glance
• One-click focus — click any tab to switch to that window instantly
• Visual feedback — active window highlighted with a pill-shaped background
• Three display modes — Icon + Name (All), Icon + Name (Active Only), or Icon Only
• Event-driven — uses AeroSpace hooks for instant updates, no polling
• Native Swift — lightweight, no Electron, no external dependencies

Installation

Install via Homebrew:

brew tap alexlazarian/aerotabs
