Validation status

Declared support is not the same as release proof

This page separates facts encoded in the project from compatibility claims that should only be published after repeatable clean-machine testing.

Declared today

The packaged app records version 1.0.0, build 1, and a minimum system of macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later.

Not claimed without proof

Processor coverage, every later macOS release, Stage Manager edge cases, and private window-focus APIs require release validation on representative Macs before they should become broad marketing claims.

What to test

Validate permissions, multiple windows per app, fullscreen Spaces, multi-display placement, exact-window activation, secure input, sleep and wake, and the signed packaged build.

Permissions

Why CmdTab asks for macOS access

The permissions are tied to specific switcher functions rather than unrelated window-content collection.

Accessibility

Lets CmdTab detect the switcher shortcut, inspect eligible windows, move selection, and focus the chosen app or exact window.

Screen Recording

Lets CmdTab capture previews of open windows. If capture is unavailable, eligible windows remain visible with an icon or placeholder.
