A faster way around macOS

Your apps,
one keystroke away.

Notes 2

Tab to cycle release to open

A quiet overlay that keeps your hands on the keyboard.

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.”

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.

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.

Private by design

Helpful permissions. Nothing extra.

Accessibility powers focus and switching. Screen Recording is only for previews. No account, ads, subscription, or telemetry.

Make it yours

Start with a shortcut.
Stay for the flow.
