v0.7.0-alpha is out, and we’d love to hear your feedback – credit to my brother/collaborator for this release!
Highlights:
Added option to enable previews to display on all desktops, including full-screen applications . This feature is still under development, and preview display bugs are expected. This feature may be especially useful to those who want better system performance while multiboxing on EVE, as the game client can only scale to lower resolutions when in full-screen mode.
Features:
Added option to display the name of the previewed application in the title bar, rather than the window title.
Added option to customize the location of the title bar on previews.
Settings window now dynamically resizes to fit the contents of each menu tab.
Bug Fixes:
Adjusted window level behavior of the settings window. In addition to floating on top of previews, the settings window now also appears in Mission Control.
Resolved alignment issues with the edit mode/resizing indicator, which now appears squarely in the bottom-right corner of previews.
Added numeric input validation to the default window size settings pane. Invalid values will now automatically revert to acceptable settings.
The LICENSE file has been renamed to LICENSE.md. This corrects file type errors in XCode. Thank you to @rogerlward for identifying this bug!
Excessive stream configuration updates have been eliminated, increasing performance of the application.
Added automatic settings migration from previous bundle IDs (only applies if you have not yet switched to Overview-alpha).
While we’ve done significant QA work on this release, we still expect bugs (especially regarding preview behavior on full-screen applications).

All I have to say is you guys rock. This keeps getting better and better with each update.
Now a question to see if you can make it remember different windows by the character name or window name and automatically populate them when the game loads. I generally run 3 accounts at a time but like to have specific accounts show up at each of the windows I have populated IE Main Alt 1, Alt 2 just as an example… But I have multiple “Mains” that when I switch I would like to just have automatically open up.
The other thing that would be nice is just the ability to have a single hot key that can tab or toggle in order each “Open” window instance.
Again Keep up the great work.
Running on : MAC OS 15.3.1 (24D70) on a Mac Studio M2 Ultra (maxed).
Noting a bug on 15.3.1 (24D70) - The App is closing out all active windows when the client(s) are closed out. Restarting the App does not open the previous windows in their positions.
I suggest that you make this a Settings file (perhaps even have a button in settings to “Save” things so it’s confirmed that its saved).
Also having a debug mode that tracks window instances and premature closing of windows to better help bug tracking.
Thanks for the feedback! If I understand correctly, this isn’t so much a bug as it is a limitation of the current window restoration feature, which only saves positions of the previews still open when Overview is closed.
I can totally see how this would be annoying for someone switching/closing clients often during their sessions. I have an expansion for window position saving/restoration coming soon that should help with this.
And good idea having a button to save positions instead of it being automatic, I may very well include this in at least an early solution!
I’m also already in the middle of adding an option to generate diagnostic reports, stay tuned for that.
And thank you for the kind words as well! You’ll be happy to hear that both those features are planned for the next few releases, which in no particular order will include:
Hotkey for cycling windows
Profiles/preview saving improvements
Binding preview windows to specific window titles
I can’t promise a timeline for these, but hopefully within the next month or two!
What I noticed specifically is if you just close out a client the attached preview window closes with it now instead of reverting back to a state of being assigned. So what happens in this instance is if you get disconnected or the client just crashes closed that preview goes away fully. (instantly updating Overviews “Current windows and positions” to the new number of windows.
To currently circumvent this issue I have to close out of overview if there was a disconnect and not an outright client crash (Mind you those normally don’t happen often but I have been testing to see overall tolerance of the app in several instances) One must close out of overview first to “Preserve” the current state and then close out the disconnect clients, re open clients and overview to get back to gaming.
Also to reference these things are happening on the M2 as well as the M4 Pro.
Again thanks for all the work with this. If you guys need any other help or someone to help test things don’t hesitate to reach out I would be more than happy to get you my contact infos.
I love what your doing!
