Built around one idea: less hunting, more doing.
QuickSwitch stays out of your way until you need it, then gets you to the right window in a few keystrokes.
Every window, instantly
Jump straight to the document, browser tab, or project window you need—not merely its app.
Type to find anything
Search across window titles and app names the moment QuickSwitch appears.
Your shortcut, your habit
Use Option, Command, or Control + Tab without relearning your workflow.
All your displays
Find windows across every connected monitor from one focused view.
Favorites stay close
Pin important windows so the work you return to is always ready.
Private by design
No account, analytics, telemetry, or cloud sync. Your workspace stays on your Mac.
Your shortcut. Your layout.
QuickSwitch adapts to the muscle memory you already have, instead of asking you to learn new habits.
Pick your summon key
Three global shortcuts to choose from in Settings. Hold the modifier to browse, and release it to switch — or turn that off to keep the switcher open until you press Return.
- ⌥TabOption + TabDefault
- ⌘TabCommand + TabReplaces the system switcher
- ⌃TabControl + TabStays out of the way
Choose how it looks
Three layouts, switchable from the menu bar or with ⌘L while the switcher is open.
A flat list, one window per line — densest, and the fastest to scan.
Free to download. Free forever.
Pick the build that matches your Mac. No account, no email, no card — just the app.

Opening QuickSwitch for the First Time
Since QuickSwitch is currently distributed outside the Mac App Store, macOS may display an “unidentified developer” warning on first launch.
Option 1 — open it once from Finder:
- 1Open Finder.
- 2Open Applications.
- 3Right-click QuickSwitch.
- 4Click Open.
- 5Click Open again.
Option 2 — clear it with one command
macOS tags every downloaded file with a quarantine flag, and that flag is what triggers the warning. Removing it in Terminal skips the prompt entirely:
$xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/QuickSwitch.appOption 3 — go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. Whichever route you pick, you only need to do it once.
QuickSwitch runs entirely on your Mac. It does not upload, sync, or collect personal data — window titles, favorites, and settings never leave your device.

The app stays completely free. If it saves you time, you can help with a coffee or a one-time donation. No subscriptions, paywalls, or strings attached.
