Added

  • Cmd+Tab switcher that lists running apps with MRU ordering and live window titles.
  • Per-window switching: hold Cmd+Tab to cycle individual windows, not just apps.
  • Liquid Glass panel with vibrancy backing (macOS 26 Tahoe variants, graceful fallback on older systems).
  • In-app auto-updater backed by GitHub Releases.
  • Added support for fullscreen windows.
  • Added the cmd + ` shortcut, which displays the windows for the currently active application.
  • Added settings window
  • New Grid View layout (formerly Icon Dock) — a grid of icons with spatial navigation (up/down/left/right arrows).
  • Add a back function to the switcher using Shift+tap without holding down Tab.

Changed

  • Application performance has been improved
  • The first Cmd+Tab after startup works faster (loads in the background).
  • The hotkey responds faster and without any lag (separate thread).

Fixed

  • Fixed state of the window list after closing the application.
  • The switcher now keeps the active/focused appearance when you press Cmd+Q (without flickering).
  • Windowless apps remain visible in the app switcher (instead of disappearing).
  • The letter in the grid scales up to fit within the tile.
  • Closed windows no longer flash again before the system detects that they have disappeared.
  • The switcher opens on the screen with the mouse and updates its position after a change in display configuration (connecting or disconnecting a monitor, changing the resolution).
  • No flickering of dead windows when closing the application.
