BetterCmdTab is a free, open-source macOS application that replaces the standard Command-Tab application switcher with advanced window management tools. It offers list, grid, and live preview layouts for navigating open applications and windows. Users can search windows with fuzzy matching or launch installed applications directly. Browser tab integration allows switching between tabs in supported browsers and terminal applications. Window controls include minimizing, closing, maximizing, tiling, and moving windows between displays. Configurable filters organize applications by recent activity, desktop space, or visibility. Gesture controls, application-specific shortcuts, and pinned favorites accelerate navigation. The application runs natively, supports extensive appearance customization, and operates without telemetry or mandatory accounts.
