A taskbar that shows what is open
Dock struggles with multiple windows of the same app. TauBar places an icon for each open window. Confirm what is open by its title.
A smarter way to use your Mac
Every window, right where you need it.
Bring the clarity of a Windows-style taskbar to macOS. See titles, switch instantly, and keep your workspace under control.

FAQ
Good to know
Everything you need before giving TauBar a try.
Does TauBar replace the Dock?
TauBar works alongside macOS. You can keep the Dock, or enable Dock auto-hide for a cleaner taskbar experience.
Why are Accessibility permissions needed?
macOS requires this permission for TauBar to read window titles, focus windows, and restore minimized windows.
Is Screen Recording required?
Only for preview thumbnails in Window Switcher. Without it, TauBar shows app icons and titles instead.
What happens after the trial?
After 10 days, choose monthly, yearly, or lifetime access. Your preferences remain saved on your Mac.
How many Macs can I use?
Each license can be activated on up to two Macs for your personal use.
Does TauBar work with multiple displays?
Yes. The taskbar follows your display setup, and Window Switcher opens on the display under your pointer.
