Hypercritical: Front and Center

(hypercritical.co)

John Siracusa of Accidental Tech Podcast fame and numerous incredibly thorough MacOS X reviews has released a simple $2.99 utility he calls Front and Center to restore the MacOS Classic window layering behavior that Apple abandoned when they moved to OS X. Once the utility is running clicking an application window will bring all of that application windows to the front as well. I haven't really missed this functionality because I don't tend to run multiple windows, but I'm a Siracusa fan and as a long time Mac user I wanted to give this another try.1


  1. The first place I immediately noticed the impact of this was in the Finder. That's the one app that I tend to keep multiple windows open in having never really adapted to tabbed Finder windows.
