Command Reopen

Command Reopen adjusts what happens when you switch apps with the Mac’s built-in Command-Tab. When the selected app has no visible windows, it restores a minimized window or, if the app has no open windows, asks it to open a new one.

Opening a new window works like clicking the app’s Dock icon. It does not restore windows, documents, or tabs you closed. Whether the new window contains a previous session or a blank document depends on the app.

Command Reopen keeps the native app switcher rather than replacing it. It does not add window previews or a grid for selecting individual windows.

The app requires no permissions. The Mac App Store edition runs in a sandbox, and the source code is available on GitHub.
