Open window icons in menubar
I'm running macOS 12 and I'm looking for something very specifiek. What I'm looking for is a way to get the current open applications of a space/desktop to show up in my menu bar. Why? I use Amethyst (A tiling window manager for macOS) in my daily flow. Sometimes I have 3 apps running on a single space in 'fullscreen' mode meaning that they cover each other. This results in a lot of switching and searching for certain open apps. In other tiling window managers this is handled by an indicator in the menu (showing the open windows of that space). I currently use WhichSpace to show my space ID and Context as a workaround for this issue to show te open apps on a space. For example, on this space I have a finder windows and a firefox window running:

Collection of "Today I Learned" notes
If you're using a Mac, I really recommend alt-tab https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/.
I love cmd+tab on a mac to switch between applications, but I was missing a feature to switch between windows of the same application. Alt+tab solves that in the same manner Windows does.

On Desktop GUI Minimalism
I know this isn’t the point of your post, but in case it helps your experience in MacOS:
1. You can change the setting so that workspaces do not change their position/order. See: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/214348/how-to-prev...
2. The third party app “alt-tab” provides an alt tab experience that is much better than the native one, and is likely more similar to the behavior you expect from Linux. See: https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app
I also personally like to use Rectangle for window positioning using keyboard shortcuts, tried the various auto tiling solutions like yabai and amethyst in the past but I think the flexibility of Rectangle is worth having to remember and use a few keyboard shortcuts.
I think it’s unfortunate that so many third party apps are required, but with a bit of babysitting MacOS can be pretty decent to work with.

Ask HN: What GNOME Shell extensions do you use?
There's likely a delay so that you can use Alt-Tab to quickly go back to your last window without the pop-up showing. I use AltTab on macOS like this, which has a configurable delay.
