Hold ` in Safari — or Tab from anywhere. Release to switch.
The problem

Seven Safari windows. One Safari icon.

macOS treats all your Safari windows as a single blob in ⌘Tab. So you cycle blindly, misclick through the Window menu, and lose minutes a day hunting for a window you can picture perfectly but can't find. Canopy CMD gives every window its own face.

What it does

Recognition, not recall.

🪟

Live visual previews

Every Safari window appears as a real snapshot of its page — you recognize windows by sight, not by guessing at truncated titles.

The signature shortcut

Safari's forgotten ⌘` shortcut cycles windows blindly. Canopy makes it visual — one press still hops to the next window, so your muscle memory keeps working.

🔍

Type to find

Overlay open? Just start typing. Filter by page title, domain, URL, or profile — "sla" finds Slack before you finish the word.

🕑

Recently used first

Like ⌘Tab, your last window is always one press away. Canopy quietly learns your switching rhythm.

🏷️

Profile aware

Safari Profiles show as colored badges — Work and Personal windows are tellable apart at a glance. Works fine without profiles too.

📐

Your layout, your spot

Horizontal strip like ⌘Tab, a grid, or a vertical sidebar hugging the screen edge. Drag the panel anywhere — it remembers.

🎨

Dynamic glass

The panel can tint itself to match the window you're highlighting, or wear the signature Canopy cream. Light, dark, and system themes included.

🗔

Minimized windows too

Even minimized windows keep their visual previews — the windows macOS itself refuses to show you.

The name

Crown shyness, for your windows.

The Canopy CMD icon — a command symbol formed by treetops

In some forests, neighboring trees grow almost together — but never touch. Thin channels of sky separate each crown, so every tree stays distinct. Botanists call it crown shyness.

Your Safari windows deserve the same courtesy. macOS crushes them into a single icon; Canopy CMD gives each one space to be seen. Look closely at the logo — the gap between the trees is a ⌘.

Privacy

Nothing leaves your Mac. Nothing can.

Canopy CMD makes zero network connections — no server, no account, no analytics, no telemetry. It's not a promise buried in a policy; the app simply has no way to phone home.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly.

When can I buy it?

Soon — Canopy CMD is in final polish and beta testing. Launch pricing will be $9.99 for the first week, then $14.99. One-time purchase, no subscription, free minor updates, 14-day fully-functional trial.

What does it need to run?

macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. It's a tiny menu bar app. On first launch it asks for Accessibility (to list and focus Safari windows) and Screen Recording (to draw the previews) — the setup assistant walks you through both.

How is this different from AltTab or Contexts?

Those are excellent general-purpose switchers for every app, driven by window titles and keyboards. Canopy does one thing deeply: Safari. It shows visual previews, understands URLs, domains, tab counts, and profiles — things a generic switcher can't see. They coexist happily; Canopy doesn't touch ⌘Tab.

Why isn't it on the Mac App Store?

The App Store sandbox forbids the system APIs any real window switcher needs (the same reason AltTab, Contexts, and Bartender are sold directly). Canopy CMD is notarized by Apple and sold direct — you keep more of your money going to an independent developer, too.

Does it slow Safari down?

No. Canopy is idle until you press the shortcut — no background polling, no extensions injected into Safari, no page content read. Previews refresh when the switcher opens.

Will it support Chrome, Arc, or Firefox?

Maybe someday — the architecture allows it. But Canopy is Safari-first on purpose: doing one browser beautifully beats doing five browsers adequately.
