Getting Started with TabSight
Download & Install
- Download the TabSight DMG from corixa.io
- Open the DMG and drag TabSight to your Applications folder
- Launch TabSight from Applications or Spotlight
Grant Automation Permission
When you first launch TabSight, macOS will ask for permission to control Safari (and Chrome, if installed).
- Click OK when the Automation permission dialog appears
- If you accidentally clicked Don't Allow:
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation
- Find TabSight in the list
- Enable the browser toggles (Safari, Chrome)
- Restart TabSight
Important
TabSight cannot function without Automation permission. This permission only allows reading window/tab info and controlling tab switching — it cannot access passwords, browsing history, or cookies.
First Launch
After granting permission:
- A thin dock strip appears on the right edge of your screen
- A menu bar icon appears (may be invisible on macOS Tahoe)
- Click or hover over the dock strip to expand it
- You will see all your browser windows and tabs listed
Understanding the Interface
- Collapsed dock — Thin strip showing tab-stack icon and tab count badge
- Expanded dock — Full panel with header toolbar, search bar, and tab list
- Header toolbar — Mode picker, New Window, Refresh, Settings, Coffee/Tip, Quit
- Tab list — Windows with their tabs, or flat tab list in compact mode
