A keyboard-driven app switcher for macOS. Press a hotkey to bring up a floating frosted-glass panel showing all running Dock apps with Vimium-style hint labels — then press the hint key to switch instantly.
- Press Option+a (customizable) to open the switcher panel
- Each running app gets a hint key label (A, S, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, etc.)
- Press the hint key to switch to that app
- Press Escape or hotkey again to dismiss
- Floating frosted-glass panel — compact, centered, stays out of your way
- Vimium-style hints — home row keys first for fastest reach
- Customizable hotkey — change the shortcut in Preferences
- Adjustable icon size — 32pt to 128pt slider in Preferences
- Launch at Login — toggle in the menu bar
- Conflict detection — warns if shortcut conflicts with system shortcuts
- Menu bar only — no Dock icon, always running, lightweight
- Universal binary — works on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs
- macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later
- Accessibility permission (prompted on first launch) — required for reliable app switching
- Launch from Applications
- Grant Accessibility permission when prompted (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility)
