Sensitivity controls
Adjust pixels-per-tab until the motion feels exactly right on your trackpad.
Continuous scroll
Wrap forever or stop at the edge with a satisfying thunk. Your tabs, your rules.
Menu bar friendly
Hide the Dock icon, hide the menu bar icon, and keep the utility as tucked away as you want.
Blazing-fast native app
Built in Swift with low-level event handling, so it stays light on CPU, memory, and battery.
FAQs
Which apps does TabSwipe work with?
TabSwipe works seamlessly with Chrome, Brave, Safari, VS Code, Zed, Notion, Finder, Terminal, iTerm2, and Xcode. You can enable support for all apps in the settings to apply the same interception model more broadly.
Can’t BetterTouchTool already do this?
BetterTouchTool maps gestures to actions, while TabSwipe changes how tab navigation works. With BTT, each swipe triggers a single shortcut (e.g. “next tab”), so moving across 6 tabs takes 6 swipes. With TabSwipe, tabs behave like a continuous strip — one swipe can move across 6 tabs in a single motion.
Can I change how sensitive the swipe feels?
Yes. TabSwipe lets you adjust pixels per tab, reverse scroll behavior, and choose vertical, horizontal, or both directions.
Does it support continuous wraparound scrolling?
Yes. You can keep moving across tabs in a loop or disable continuous scrolling and use hard edges with haptic feedback.
Is it a native Mac app or a browser extension?
It is a native macOS app written in Swift. It listens at the system level and sends the right tab-switching shortcuts when your gesture crosses a tab boundary.
Is TabSwipe a paid app or is it free?
TabSwipe is a one-time purchase of $12.99 for a lifetime license. We offer a 3-day free trial so you can experience the native haptics and fluid gestures before you buy.
Can I request a refund after purchasing a license?
Yes, you may request a full refund within 7 days of your original purchase. No reason required.
