## About

DocTabs puts open Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents in a single row of tabs, making it easier to switch between files without searching each app’s Window menu. Each file gets its own tab, with its name and folder shown when needed.

The bar appears when you use an Office app and steps aside when you switch to another app. You can pin it on screen, filter tabs by app, reorder them, or open a file’s location in Finder. DocTabs is built for Mac and Windows, and it is free forever with no subscription.
