AppSwitcher is a lightweight Windows productivity utility that replaces conventional Alt+Tab navigation with predictable keyboard shortcuts. It allows users to assign fixed hotkeys to applications, making it possible to switch directly to frequently used programs. Unlike traditional window switching, assigned shortcuts remain consistent regardless of recent application activity. Three cycling modes support switching between applications, navigating multiple windows, and minimizing the currently focused application. A Peek mode temporarily displays another application until the shortcut is released. Users can configure applications to launch automatically when they are not already running. Built with C# and .NET, AppSwitcher supports classic desktop software and modern packaged Windows applications. It operates offline without telemetry or administrator privileges.
