Cmd+Tab ignores minimized windows on Mac? Command Reopen automatically restores them. Fixes Command+Tab for minimized and closed windows. No permissions needed. Open source. 2-day free trial on the Mac App Store.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Command Reopen after getting tired of Cmd+Tab switching to an app while its window stayed minimized in the Dock. I wanted to fix that one behavior without replacing the native app switcher or asking for Accessibility access. Command Reopen runs quietly in the menu bar and: → brings minimized windows back when you Cmd+Tab → creates a window when an app has none → preserves the native Cmd+Tab interface → requires zero permissions for its core behavior → collects no data The project is MIT licensed, and there’s a free build available on GitHub. I’d love your feedback—especially if you find an app or workflow where it doesn’t behave the way you’d expect.

Honestly this is a super useful utility, I always hated that Cmd+Tab quirk. One thing I'd love is the option to whitelist certain apps from being reopened, like Spotify or my chat apps, since I don't really need them restored every time I tab back.
