AltTab for Mac

What this tool does

AltTab is a free macOS utility that improves how you switch between open applications by providing a configurable, Windows-style switcher. It speeds up multitasking by letting you jump between windows with keyboard combinations and tailor the behavior to match your preferred workflow.

Keyboard controls and quick actions

• Create custom key bindings for common tasks such as minimizing, closing, or canceling window actions.
• Use shortcut combinations to flip through currently open windows quickly.
• Turn off specific shortcuts for chosen programs to prevent interference with app-native key commands.

Personalization and appearance

• Pick from theme options that mimic either macOS or Windows aesthetics, then tweak colors, font sizes, and window dimensions.
• Save two distinct configuration profiles so you can switch setups depending on the task you’re tackling.

Managing focus and visibility

• Add apps to a hide list so they won’t appear in the switcher, helping you concentrate on the windows that matter.
• Exclude particular applications from shortcut handling when needed to avoid conflicts.

Key features at a glance

• Two saveable profiles for different workflows
• Theme selection and visual adjustments
• Keyboard-driven window switching
• App blacklist and per-app shortcut disabling

Alternatives

If you want to explore other options, there are file- and transfer-focused utilities and other window managers available; review those based on whether you prioritize cross-device sharing, UI fidelity to another OS, or additional customization depth.
