Word, Excel and PowerPoint on Mac open every file in its own window, with no easy way to see them all at once. DocTabs adds one row of tabs for every open document, workbook and presentation. Click a tab and that file comes to the front. Filter by app, drag tabs into your own order, pin the bar over other apps or fold it away. Files with the same name show their folder. Free, no account, in 9 languages.

Could you build this?
No Building an OS-level tab bar that overlays and manipulates separate native macOS application windows requires deep low-level macOS system programming and Accessibility API expertise.
What it would actually take: The product requires a native Swift/Objective-C macOS application utilizing the macOS Accessibility (AXUIElement) APIs and SkyLight/CoreGraphics private window management APIs to track window positions and bring specific document windows to front. The developer must handle delicate OS-level permissions, screen recording/accessibility grants, event taps, and edge cases where Microsoft Office applications fail to expose standard window hierarchy or document titles.
