AltTab
brew install --cask alt-tab
v11.3.1
Switch between windows with preview thumbnails using Windows-style Alt+Tab behavior.
Why you might care
macOS's native app switcher only shows apps, not individual windows. AltTab displays thumbnails of every open window, making it faster to find what you need if you juggle multiple windows per app. It's highly configurable with customizable hotkeys and appearance options.
