A keyboard-driven window switcher for macOS. Press a hotkey to bring up a floating frosted-glass panel showing all open windows with Vimium-style hint labels — press the hint key to switch to that window instantly.
- Press Option+w (customizable) to open the switcher panel
- Each open window gets a hint key label (A, S, D, F, ...)
- Press the hint key to switch to that window
- Press Escape or hotkey to dismiss
- Window thumbnails — real window previews
- Per-window switching — each on-screen window gets its own entry
- Dynamic column layout — 2 to 6 columns, automatically chosen to maximize thumbnail size while filling the panel
- Floating frosted-glass panel — centered, 80% width, 90% height
- Vimium-style hints — home row keys first for fastest reach
- Customizable hotkey — record any key combination 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
- Screen Recording — required for live window previews
- Accessibility — required for per-window switching (brings the specific window to front)
- macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later
- Open the DMG
- Drag Yo Window Switcher to the Applications folder
- Launch from Applications
- Grant Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions when prompted
