Application switching
Move between apps without losing your place.
Configurable Cmd-Tab switching brings a compact, focused overlay to your workflow. Forward and reverse cycling are always one rhythm apart.
No swiping. No Mission Control. Just the window.
Your apps,
one keystroke away.
SwitchTab gives your apps and windows a calm, focused shortcut. Use ⌘Tab for apps and ⌘` for windows in the app you are using.

Get it running
One command.
Then one keystroke.
Install the latest signed release with Homebrew, or grab the DMG straight from GitHub. No account, no subscription.
The flow
Less hunting.
More getting there.
01
Hold
Press your shortcut and the switcher appears exactly where you need it.
02
Cycle
Tap through apps or windows. The selected destination stays clear.
03
Release
Let go and land there. Click works too when your pointer is closer.
Everything in reach
A small utility
with a big shortcut.
Built for the moment between “where was that?” and “there it is.”
Current-app windows
See the right window before you open it.
Use Cmd-Backtick to stay inside the app at hand. Window titles and previews make the next destination unmistakable.
Fewer places to look
Stop managing where your windows live.
Spaces and second monitors ask you to remember geography. SwitchTab asks you to remember one shortcut — stack windows wherever they land and pull the one you want to the front.
Private by design
Helpful permissions. Nothing extra.
Accessibility powers focus and switching. Screen Recording is only for previews. No account, ads, subscription, or telemetry.
