Cmd+Tab, for every window.

A fast, native macOS window switcher. One row per window across every app, not one icon per app. Apple Silicon. Open source.

Download for macOS → Apple Silicon · macOS 13+ · auto-updates
Or install with Homebrew
Press Cmd + Tab after launch.

Why

One row per window

Five Arc windows? Five rows. Jump to the right one in a keystroke.

Type to filter

Fuzzy match across app names and window titles.

Native & tiny

Swift, ~200 KB binary, arm64. Zero overhead when idle.

Open source

MIT. No telemetry, no accounts.

Install

Homebrew

Installs the signed, notarized app from GitHub Releases. Sparkle keeps mwitch updated automatically, and the cask is updated from the same release zip.

brew tap viraatdas/mwitch https://github.com/viraatdas/mwitch brew install --cask mwitch

Direct download

Download the latest release zip, unzip it, and drag mwitch.app into /Applications.

  1. Open mwitch.app from Applications. Signed and notarized by Apple, so no Gatekeeper warnings.
  2. Grant Accessibility permission. A macOS dialog will pop up. Click Open System Settings, then toggle mwitch on in the list. Lets mwitch intercept Cmd + Tab and raise the window you pick.
  3. Grant Screen Recording permission. A second dialog will pop up with the same flow: Open System Settings, toggle mwitch on. Required by macOS for any app that reads window titles. mwitch never records your screen.
  4. When macOS asks to Quit & Reopen mwitch, click that. Permissions only activate after a relaunch.
  5. Press Cmd + Tab. The switcher should pop up. Hold Cmd, tap Tab to advance, release to switch. mwitch starts automatically at login from now on.

Stuck? If a permission dialog disappeared before you could click it, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, then check Accessibility and Screen Recording. If mwitch already appears in either list with the toggle on but Cmd+Tab still doesn't work, remove it with the – button, then click + and re-add /Applications/mwitch.app.
