- It’s now possible to set a timer for each item in your tabs.
- TabLauncher is now scriptable. You can modify some or all of your items at once using applescripts. (For example to set the size of all icons at once, you can run a simple script like this: tell application "TabLauncher" to set icons size of tabs to 40
- New option to make TabLauncher stay open until you click on an icon or tab.

What’s New in Version 2.1
Unfortunately it’s impossible to implement a decent way to bring a specific window to front, if it’s not on the current desktop (mission control’s space).
Also the control we have over “mission control” is very limited.
Apple has been removing the control developers used to have over the system. If they continue to block us even more, I fear applications like TabLauncher will no longer work in the future.
Let's hope the guys at Apple realize that the community has much to offer, if they let us!
We are sorry, but for now clicking on window icons won’t work on all cases.
We hope this can be fixed in the future.
- Window preview. Placing the mouse pointer over an app currently on your tabs will display the app's window preview.
- Added "Special Tab Windows". Shows a small preview of all applications windows. You can also set to display only off screen or minimized windows.
- Badge on the Mail application.
- Improved Performance.
- Other improvements and bug fixes.
