    rcmd makes app switching instantaneous!When you have a lot of apps open, finding and switching to them might feel too slow using Command-Tab or the Dock.Hold down the right side |⌘ command| and press the first letter of the app name to focus it.

    • $12.99 / One-off
    All the <i>new</i> apps I use and create are utility apps. • rcmd for faster app switching (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd).

    I try to stay with the default native apps and programs that comes with the OSes (currently Apple) as much as possible. I have begun to ponder upon and want to go linux once I retire from active work. I try to keep backups of the content in either open or universal formats to be able to move and decouple from Apple smoothly, if needed. I continue to experiment and tinker with new tools but after using it, buying/pro/premium it, and I begin to realize I just need to learn a little more with the native apps and I can do that smoothly enough that my muscle memory kicks in. Well, I even subscribed to SetApp[1] and use less than 5 App there at most. My approach these days is -- I need to be able to own and/or control the content but use any tools, and be able to walk of the tools when needed. I try to keep a note about it and will update that -- https://oinam.fyi/digital/apple/ 1. https://setapp.com.
