What GroupShelf does
GroupShelf is a window-management utility for macOS that groups windows from different applications into browser-style tabs. Users can hold Shift and drag one window onto another to create or join a group.
According to its Product Hunt listing and maker post, moving or resizing one window moves or resizes the rest of the group. Users can also pull a tab out, use pop-out, name groups and apply colors to tabs.
Key capabilities
- Groups windows across applications, such as Finder, a terminal and a browser.
- Supports native Command-T tabs and tab-switching shortcuts.
- Works across multiple displays.
- Provides a group list in the menu bar.
- Follows macOS Light and Dark mode settings.
Availability and limitations
GroupShelf is described as a native Swift app for macOS 15 and later, supporting both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. The maker says it does not require an account and is distributed outside the Mac App Store because it needs Accessibility permission to read, move and raise windows belonging to other apps.
The listed price is $9.99 as a one-time purchase for use on up to three Macs. A 30-day trial includes all features. The maker also listed a 25% launch discount using the code GSLAUNCH through October 31, and offered installation through Homebrew.
Who it is for
GroupShelf is aimed at Mac users who regularly work across several application windows and want to organize them into shared tab bars rather than manage each window separately. Its requirements and Accessibility permission mean prospective users should check compatibility and permission preferences before installing.
