• 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: 10 months 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: 10 months 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 / 11 months 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 1 year ago

• Looking for an alternative to alt-esc on mac

  Another option is Witch, switch between apps, tabs, windows, or all three. I've used it a couple times. Source: over 1 year ago

• AltTab, a macOS app which "brings the power of Windows’s “alt-tab” window switcher to macOS", is in need of someone to take over the project

  You might be interested in Witch instead. Or, honestly, if you haven’t checked out all the various things Exposé can do these days, you might want to do a quick tour. Source: over 1 year 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 2 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

  Given this isn't free anyway, you could have both behaviors with a single app Witch (https://manytricks.com/witch). - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• 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 2 years ago

• A modern alternative for HyperDock?

  There is a way to get little previews in the Command+Tab feature if you use Witch from https://manytricks.com/witch/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I want to switch over to Mac OS from Windows. Anybody here have experience/advice?

  Yeah, one or more of these will do the trick! These apps enhance the app/window/tab switching experience. Witch Alt-Tab Contexts. Source: about 2 years ago

  Witch – Multiple flexible switchers with search. Source: about 2 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 2 years ago

• A tip to switch workspaces and move windows between them easily

  I use witch instead: https://manytricks.com/witch/ it’s really nice to be able to define the behavior of the window. Source: about 2 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: about 2 years ago

• How to have quick shortcuts to toggle between apps?

  I just switched to Mac from Windows. I've been able to regain some window management functions of window snapping via Rectangle and window switching via Witch (perfect except for a small delay). In Windows, I had a set of apps pinned to the taskbar, so that WIN+1, 2, 3, 4, 5 were bound to my most often used apps. I work with text across multiple programs, so I like to be able to switch faster than CMD+TAB and... Source: over 2 years ago

• AltTab: Windows Alt-Tab on macOS

  Witch (https://manytricks.com/witch/) has an option that allows you to treat tabs as if they’re windows, but over time I’ve found Witch more and more buggy and gave up on using it, which is such a shame. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
