SuperTab
SuperTab is a Mac utility that expands the standard Command-Tab app switcher with windows, recent items, folders, clipboard history, and custom shortcuts.
What is SuperTab?
SuperTab is a utility app for macOS that extends the built-in Command-Tab app switcher into a broader launcher and workspace navigation tool. It helps Mac users move between open apps and windows, reopen recent documents and folders, and reach commonly used items without leaving the keyboard. SuperTab can also surface Dock items, folder contents, clipboard history, Finder sidebar items, and other shortcuts inside customizable tab rows. This makes it useful for people who multitask heavily, keep many windows open, or want quicker access to files and actions during everyday work. Published by Ando Sonenblick, SuperTab focuses on speeding up switching, launching, and navigating across common Mac workflows rather than replacing the desktop or Finder.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
SuperTab is a legitimate Mac utility whose behavior is consistent with its purpose as an app switcher and launcher enhancement. Features such as window switching, recent-item access, clipboard history, folder browsing, and custom shortcuts may involve access to data already available in your user account, so review its privacy settings if you use sensitive documents or clipboard content. Keep the app only if you use its switching and launcher features, and check macOS login items if you do not want it available in the background after sign-in.
Recommendation: Keep SuperTab if you want a more powerful Command-Tab workflow for switching apps, windows, and recent items. If you no longer use those shortcuts or prefer the standard macOS app switcher, you can remove it without affecting macOS itself.
