WindowTabs

A utility which brings browser-style tabbed window management to the desktop.

History

It was developed by Maurice Flanagan in 2009 and was provided as a free and paid version originally.
The author has open-sourced it since no longer has time to maintain it. See the original repository: mauricef/WindowTabs.

I forked from payaneco's repository which forked from redgis'. Now it compiles and runs successfully on both Win7 and Win10.

Download

It's recommended to compile the exe file as below. If not, you could find my prebuilt files at releases.

It should work on both Win7 and Win10.
