Tabs for Word, Excel and PowerPoint on Mac and Windows

Word, Excel and PowerPoint open every file in its own window, so you keep hunting for the one you need. DocTabs puts every open document, workbook and presentation in one row of tabs, on Mac and Windows. Click a tab and that file comes to the front. Filter by app, drag tabs into your own order, keep the bar above other apps or fold it away. Files with the same name show their folder. Free, no account, in 9 languages.

Hi Product Hunt š
Update: DocTabs now runs on Windows 10 and 11 too š
Anyone who works in Word, Excel and PowerPoint knows the feeling: every file opens in its own window. With a report, two spreadsheets and a deck open, finding the right one means digging through the Window menu, Mission Control or the taskbar, again and again.
So I built DocTabs: a small bar with one tab for every open Office file. Click a tab and that file jumps to the front. The bar shows up only when Word, Excel or PowerPoint is in front, and you can pin it, filter by app, reorder tabs or fold it into a tiny logo.
A few things I cared about:
ā¢ It reads only the names and locations of your open files, never what's inside
ā¢ No account, no sign-in, and it's free
ā¢ Speaks 9 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Mongolian š²š³, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. It follows your computer's language by default
The first launch takes one extra click:
ā¢ Mac: DocTabs isn't in the Mac App Store (its sandbox doesn't let one app control another)
ā¢ Windows: the installer isn't signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn you. Click More info, then Run anyway

I'd love your feedback: what would make DocTabs part of your daily setup?
