About Command Reopen

Bring minimized windows back automatically when you press Cmd+Tab. Command Reopen fixes one irritating macOS behavior: you switch to an app with Cmd+Tab, the app activates, but its minimized window stays hidden in the Dock — or nothing appears because the last window was closed. Keep your native workflow: It preserves the native macOS app switcher. It does not replace Cmd+Tab with a launcher, window manager, or custom switcher. Keep the muscle memory you already rely on. What it fixes: • An app activates on Cmd+Tab, but its minimized window stays hidden in the Dock • You closed an app's last window and Cmd+Tab switches back to an empty screen Built-in controls: • Exclude apps you prefer to manage manually • Lightweight menu bar utility with ultra-low resource usage Zero permissions: • No Accessibility permission required • No Screen Recording permission required • 100% private, runs locally with no tracking Source code available on GitHub.
