Product Description:

Pith is a utility for Safari that tracks the currently open sites, displays them in a window, and allows you to hide or minimize unused windows, If Safari crashes, relaunch it, and Pith can recover the windows that were open.

If you have suggestions or comments, please visit the Pith Forum

Notes:
  • On some machines, the list of windows may be empty. This is a bug in AppleScript, and I am trying to work around it.
  • The wrong window is activated when closing a window in auto-hide mode. (the eldest, rather than the last used)
  • There are a few side-effects of using the auto-hide feature.
  • To prevent the old window from remaining active, the windows flash when switching.
  • Sometimes windows will animate oddly.
  • If safari quits while it is refreshing, Pith may lose the open sites too.
  • Processor usage goes up a lot when many windows are open.

What's new in this version:

  • Menu bug fixed
  • Added windows submenu, access to same-frame and hide-others
  • Added a bunch of preferences.
  • Partially Localized in Japanese/Dutch
  • Window Hot Keys
  • Empty window list bug NOT fixed yet.

  • Mac OS X 10.2

it gets a bit slow when many windows open. I also have had lots of problems with not being able to hide Safari since installing Pith... Not sure where Pith'll go with tabs happening, but it's still a useful app.

very responsive to feedback. I have been playing with Safari v62 (with tabs). Pith is still quite useful even though Safari has tabs now. Each window can have multiple tabs, and the different windows can still share the same space. Personally, I prefer Pith's implementation more than tabs, but the two together are fantastic.
