What's New

• Fuzzy search across all open windows — type any part of a title or process name
• Smart ranking — word-start and consecutive matches score higher; the algorithm learns from your selections over time
• Alt+Tab replacement — optionally override Alt+Tab with the switcher (right-click tray icon to enable)
• System theme aware — automatically follows Windows dark/light mode and switches live
• Slight transparency — the overlay blends subtly with your desktop
• Modern UI — Segoe Fluent Icons, dark/light themes, rounded corners, drop shadow
• Performance optimized — 40ms debounce on search input, fast fuzzy matching with early rejection
• System tray — lives quietly in your tray with a blue window-grid icon
• Keyboard shortcuts:
  • Ctrl+Space — open the switcher
  • Type to search
  • Up/Down/Tab — navigate
  • Enter — switch to window
  • Escape — dismiss
  • Ctrl+W — close the selected window

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11 (x64)
• No .NET runtime needed — the exe is fully self-contained

Tech

Built with .NET 8, WPF, and Win32 interop (EnumWindows, SetForegroundWindow, WH_KEYBOARD_LL). Single-file publish, ~155MB self-contained.
