AltTab is a window switcher for Mac that brings the Windows-style Alt-Tab experience to macOS. Instead of switching between apps, you see and pick individual windows, even several from the same app.

**Key features:**

- See every window in the switcher, including minimized, hidden, and ones on other Spaces, with a badge showing where each one is.
- Preview the selected window at full size before you switch to it.
- Customize the keyboard shortcuts.
- Switch between thumbnail, app icon, or compact title list styles with Pro.
- Find a window by typing part of its title or app name with Pro search.

AltTab is free and open source under GPL-3.0, with no tracking or telemetry, and runs natively on Apple silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 12 or later. AltTab Pro adds search, more styles, auto-size, and extra shortcuts, and every Pro feature has a 14-day free trial.
