Update: I’m no longer able to take any more people into the beta program at this time. Thanks for your interest!

If you’re anything like me you have a lot of windows open at any one time. I usually have an ungodly number of Safari and Xcode windows open full of research and code. The problem is I often lose track of which window is where, and have difficulty getting to the window I want. The respective windows menus at this point are at an unwieldy length and Exposé just shows me such tiny thumbnails that I can’t tell if that one’s the header file I’m looking for or the latest Penny Arcade.

It was for this reason I wrote Illuminate. Sometimes I can recognize the window by sight, but I only want to see a reasonably number of them at a time. Sometimes I know the window name and I just want to go directly there. Other times I don’t remember either, just a key phrase I know appears in the window. Illuminate can handle all of these cases for me.

Illuminate is now in a “closed” beta. If you love trying out new software and giving constructive feedback, please sign up at the Fortunate Bear website. Edit: The beta is currently full.
