The shelf

Every window of the space you're on, on a glass shelf at the bottom of the screen.

  • Move the pointer to the bottom edge to bring the shelf up, or keep it always in view.
  • Hover over a window to magnify it and see its title.
  • Click to bring it forward, or right-click to close, minimize, hide or quit it.
  • Close and minimize buttons appear on the window under the pointer.

Live pictures

Each window is a live picture with its app's icon, so two windows of the same app are easy to tell apart.

  • Pictures follow the windows as they change.
  • Dock badges show unread counts right on the shelf.
  • A dot marks the window you're in.
  • Without Screen Recording, the shelf shows app icons instead.

Minimized and hidden windows

Minimized, hidden and put-away windows wait after the separator, stacked so the shelf stays short.

  • Minimized windows keep their last picture, dimmed.
  • Hover over the stack to fan it out, and click a window to bring it back.
  • Or open the stack as a row along the shelf.

Every space and display

Windows on your other spaces and displays are one click away, in a stack at the start of the shelf.

  • Click one to go to its space and bring it forward.
  • An arrow shows which display a window is on, a number which space.
  • Each display can have a shelf of its own.
  • The grid at the end shows your spaces: click a cell to go there.

Make room for the shelf

macOS doesn't let apps turn the Dock off or share its edge, so Qather offers to move the Dock to the left or hide it completely.

  • Move the Dock to the left, and the shelf has the bottom edge to itself.
  • Or hide the Dock: ⌘Tab, Mission Control and Spaces keep working.
  • Quitting Qather brings the Dock back as it was.

Questions

How does the free trial work?

The trial lasts 14 days and includes every feature. You don't need a card. When it ends, features pause until you enter a license key. Your settings are kept.

Can I use Qather on more Macs later?

Yes. Write to contact@qeepl.com and pay the difference between the two prices.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Qather checks your license every few days and keeps working for up to 30 days without an internet connection.

How do I deactivate a Mac?

Open Settings → License and click Deactivate This Mac. That frees the seat for another Mac.

How do I get a refund?

Write to contact@qeepl.com from the email you bought with. A full refund deactivates the license key.

What do I need?

macOS 26 or later, on Apple silicon. Accessibility access is required; Screen Recording is optional.

What happens to the Dock?

macOS doesn't let apps turn the Dock off or share the bottom edge with it. At first launch Qather asks whether to move the Dock to the left or hide it completely. A hidden Dock keeps working for ⌘Tab, Mission Control and Spaces, and comes back as it was when you quit Qather. You can change your choice in Settings → Shelf.

Why does an extra display appear in System Settings?

To keep a hidden Dock out of Mission Control, Qather parks it on an invisible display. macOS lists that display in System Settings → Displays, and a screenshot of the whole screen adds an empty picture for it. Quitting Qather removes it.

Why isn't Qather in the Mac App Store?

Qather works with windows and spaces through system features the App Store's rules don't allow. It's signed with Apple's Developer ID, notarized by Apple, and checks for updates by itself.

What does Qather need access to?

Accessibility, to list your windows, bring them to the front and read Dock badges. Screen Recording, optional, only for window pictures; nothing is recorded or sent.

Does Qather collect data?

Qather has no analytics and does not track how you use it. The license service stores what it needs to issue your key. See the privacy policy.

Does Qather send crash reports?

No, not by itself. After a crash it offers to open an email with the report to contact@qeepl.com, which you can read before sending. You can turn this off in Settings → General.
