Contexts Landing Page

Contexts

Switch between application windows effortlessly — with Fast Search, a better Command-Tab, a Sidebar or even a quick gesture. Free trial available.

You should try contexts! It also has a bunch of other features and is highly configurable. I'm not one to normally pay for software, but this is probably up there with some of the best $10 I ever spent. https://contexts.co/.

rcmd Landing Page

rcmd

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.
Pricing:
- Paid
- $12.99 / One-off
Also check out my rcmd app (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd) for more keyboard centric workflows. It’s definitely not as powerful as Witch for windows/tabs but rcmd’s one-key approach is instant for app switching. Witch has some ingenious features indeed: searching browser/editor/terminal tabs, lingering on an app to show its windows etc. I wish Apple would allow this kind of functionality in App Store apps.

Rectangle

Window management app based on Spectacle, written in Swift.
Pricing:
- Open Source
Interesting. I use a combination of free and open source apps instead of these. Window management - Rectangle https://rectangleapp.com/ Alt-Tab improvements: AltTab app https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/ Searching - Alfred https://www.alfredapp.com/ Between these three, is there anything that Contexts or Witch can do that is worth paying for?

Magnet Window Manager

Magnet Developers

Have you tried Magnet[1] yet? I’ve been using it for years and really love it. TBH, I prefer it over way Windows does it (forcing you to decide wha goes in the “other” side of the screen). [1] https://magnet.crowdcafe.com/.

yabai

A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning

If you install yabai (<a href="https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai">https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai</a>) it has a feature that can completely disable spaces switching animations - but it does require partially disabling SIP (worth it for yabai, IMO).

BTT Remote

A remote control for you Mac, using your iPhone or iPad

> MacOS insists that if I want to switch focus, surely I want all the windows that the other app has to offer, which feels like a but mishmash to me. This had not been the case. Command tabbing would bring forward only the last active window. It was very handy to switch back and forth between text editor and browser that way. But then, they decided command tab should bring forward all windows, which ruined usability for me. Now I use BetterTouchTool [0] to directly switch to an app. Doing so brings forward only the last active window. [0] https://folivora.ai.
