Window Switcher

Window Switcher is a simple searchable window switcher for macOS.

Usage

Note

The app needs accessibility to get all windows and focus windows in the active space, and needs screen recording to get the window previews.

1. Use hotkey (option + tab) to open the window switcher.
2. Type to search for a window, or use arrow keys to move your selection.
3. Press enter to switch to the selected window.

Installation

Homebrew

This app is also available as a cask on Homebrew.

brew install --cask sean01zhang/formulae/window-switcher

Manually

1. Go to releases and download the latest version. The zip (window-switcher-v#.#.#.zip) can be found under the assets section.
2. Unzip the downloaded file. It is recommended to move the app to the Applications folder.
3. Open the app. You may need to give the app permissions to access accessibility and screen recording.

Upgrading

Warning

Due to packaging limitations, you must remove any previously granted Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions before launching the updated app, and then re-grant them after the new version starts.

Homebrew

brew upgrade window-switcher

After upgrading, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, remove the app from both Accessibility and Screen Recording, then launch the app and grant the permissions again when prompted.
