Post Description

I built TabPilot because I constantly have 40+ tabs across 3-4 Safari windows, and finding my open work is very difficult at times. Safari's built-in tools don't let you type-to-search across windows and lack other simple features.

Arguably, this is bringing the same feature from Chrome, that I sorely missed after switching to Safari. There is Tab Overview, but I wanted something quick and without unnecessary animations.

I ended up with a Safari extension. Lightweight, no backend, fully private. Happy to hear what you think! It's a one-time purchase, to justify the work of publishing, and hopefully pay for a portion of my Apple Developer account.

Nomousemode – keyboard window switcher for macOS

Maps intuitive WASD movement, Space/Return clicks, and an on/off global hotkey into a lightweight, menu-bar macOS app — the core feature set is focused and practical. The product's custom key bindings, speed-boost modifier, and native Intel/Apple Silicon support make it genuinely useful for people who hate reaching for the mouse, though the idea isn't groundbreaking and requires Accessibility permissions which may scare casual users.
