Roadmap

April 20, 2026

DashPane 2.0 shipped

DashPane now behaves like a switcher and a launcher, while the release pipeline itself has moved onto Apple-signed, notarized distribution.

• +Launch apps directly from Command-Tab, Control-Space, and the sidebar when the target app is not already open
• +App Shortcuts settings for binding keys to running apps and installed apps with activate-if-open and launch-if-closed behavior
• +Sidebar fuzzy search at the top so the sidebar can find windows and installed apps from the same flow
• +Command-Tab shortcut rendering now stays in sync with explicit app bindings instead of falling back to stale auto-assigned letters
• +Website releases are now shipped through a real Developer ID signed and notarized installer pipeline

Month 1 update shipped

A polish-heavy release focused on making DashPane feel dependable every day, not just promising on first launch.

• +Complete settings overhaul with dedicated sections for Appearance, General, Sidebar, Search, Command-Tab, Gestures, License, and About
• +Reliable Command-Tab override and Control-Space toggles that no longer break native macOS behavior
• +Working edge gestures, trigger distance, preferred edge switching, and corrected sidebar auto-hide behavior
• +Theme sync across settings, Command-Tab, Control-Space, and sidebar with System, Light, and Dark modes
• +Trackpad haptics while scrolling lists plus cleaner permissions and menu-bar-first behavior
• +Existing licenses now recover cleanly on the same Mac after reinstalling or updating DashPane

DashPane 1.0 launched

The first public release established the three core ways to switch faster on macOS: keyboard, search, and sidebar.

• +Command-Tab replacement built around windows, not just apps
• +Control-Space fuzzy search for jumping straight to the window you want
• +Edge-reveal sidebar for a visual switching workflow
• +Native macOS integration with Accessibility APIs and Apple Silicon support
