• App Switcher on MAC

  I tried a lot, and https://manytricks.com/witch/ is what I stuck with for the ONLY decent alt tab experience I could find (it’s heavily customizable). I don’t understand this number thing, finding them like that takes the same reading action you could be doing while you press alt tab for each… and you’d be done, but instead I see so many apps offer that number route. It just seems like double work to me ;). Source: almost 2 years ago

• App that shows minimized windows in control panel?

  I use Witch. It's a little older but is still fully supported and I feel still works the best for me. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Is it possible to use spotlight to switch between windows of same app?

  I don't believe so, however if you've not see Witch[0] it's a spotlight replacement. Honestly fantastic, one of the few apps I miss the most after having to move the primary workstation back to Windows. [0]https://manytricks.com/witch/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Linux is Making Apple Great Again

  I've been issued a Mac Laptop for work, and for the first 2 months by far the #1 issue for me was the alt-tabbing. I've been successfully using Witch to restore normal window-tabbing (in place of application-tabbing): https://manytricks.com/witch/ Unfortunately after MacOS ~Vista~ Catalina you still need to grant Witch permissions for each application you're alt-tabbing to that Witch hasn't seen yet, but... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Must Have Apps, Free or Paid -

  If you find yourself missing alt tab to switch by windows, check out Contexts, Witch, or the aptly named AltTab as an alternative window switcher. Source: almost 3 years ago

• I'm having a tough time with Cmd+Tab

  Have a look at an app called Witch. I've been using it forever and highly recommend it. You can configure it to cycle through all windows without having to specifically select an app first, which I guess is what you're after. You can also choose if you want to bring to front the entire app or just the individual window you're switching to. There are plenty of other options to customize its behavior.

• AltTab – Windows alt-tab on macOS

  I paid for Witch and have been pretty happy with it [1]. Only issue is very occasionally the MacOS switcher and the Witch switcher both appear and fight for control. [1] https://manytricks.com/witch/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Looking for the best Command-Tab switcher (Contexts VS Witch)

  I've recently been testing out some command-tab app switchers to see which works best, and have really enjoyed Contexts and Witch. I like the feel of Contexts more (it feels native), but Witch has the ability to view, search, and switch directly to any tab in any window. For instance, I can open a specific tab of Safari using Witch whereas with Contexts I need to first open the Safari window that holds the tab,... Source: about 3 years ago

• The new Cmd + Tab switcher with bookmarks on board

  To compare, Bartender charges $15 USD while you charge $3 USD/year. Bartender however only charges these for individual versions (though it does give discounts on new versions if you have an old one), so you would need a subscriber for 5 years to get similar procing. A similar app: witch (https://manytricks.com/witch/) also charges I think around 15 USD. Source: over 3 years ago
