• Dropping a file onto an app icon opens the file with that app again, and dropping it onto a folder icon sends it into the folder — instead of just adding the file to the tab

• The Windows tab’s “App icons instead of previews” option no longer hides when Screen Recording permission is missing — it’s exactly the mode that needs no captures

• Item names no longer blink out while you move the pointer between icons — the name hands straight over to the next item

• Hovering a tab now works anywhere on the tab, not only over its title

• Preferences > Tabs > Icons: the Position, Size and Spacing sliders now follow the tab you have selected

• Window previews are steadier, including a fix for a crash

• The Windows tab — the special tab that lists the windows of every running app — is now a TabLauncher Pro feature. Only an app outside the sandbox can bring another app’s window forward, so adding one moved to Pro, the free companion for TabLauncher customers (see the PRO section on the TabLauncher page). There, clicking a window raises it instantly through the Accessibility API, tabbed-away windows included

• App icons instead of previews — a Windows tab option, at Add Special Tabs > Windows and on the Special pane of a tab you already have: each window shows its app’s icon instead of a live thumbnail, so the tab takes no screen captures at all and the recording indicator stays off

• Multiple rows of icons — give the launcher up to 6 rows with the new Rows slider in Preferences > Body, and drag any icon onto any row

• Free item docking — the new Items option (Centered / Free, also in Preferences > Body) lets you place icons on any spot of the grid, iOS style; the tab grows and shrinks to fit your arrangement

• When a tab outgrows the screen, the scroll wheel pans the items

• Other layout fixes

• Upgrading from version 2 now brings your tabs and settings over automatically

• If 3.0 already greeted you with default tabs, don’t worry — your old setup was never deleted: open Preferences > General and press Load, then choose your old settings folder to bring everything back

• Backup files (.tabl) now show their own icon and can be restored with a double-click

• Tabs are now living shapes you can sculpt: pick a preset like Classic, Pill or Wave, or open the Shape Studio and drag the curves yourself

• Multi-color gradients, outlines, shadows and fluid animations

• Unlimited tabs on any edge of any screen; every screen edge remembers its own layout — including a gap for the camera housing on modern MacBooks

• Import your Dock in one click — apps, folders, web links, even the spacers

• New closing options: after a delay you set, or when you click an icon, a tab, or anywhere outside

• Auto-hide completely, leaving elegant gradient markers where your tabs sleep

• Save your configuration and load it on another Mac

• Updated for modern macOS; your existing tabs and settings migrate automatically
