Tab

A fast window switcher for macOS. Switch between all your windows — across every Space, with live previews — and build your own switching workflows, each with its own keyboard shortcut.

Install

  1. Download the latest Tab.zip from the Releases page.
  2. Unzip it and move Tab.app into your Applications folder.
  3. Open the Terminal app and run this once, so macOS will let the app open:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Tab.app
    
  4. Open Tab. When prompted, allow Accessibility and Screen Recording — these let Tab list your windows and show live previews.

Tab lives in your menu bar (no Dock icon).

Using Tab

  • ⌘Tab — switch windows. Hold ⌘, tap Tab to move through them, release to switch. Add to go backwards. Press Esc to cancel.
  • Click the menu-bar icon ▸ Settings ▸ Workflows to create your own switchers. Each workflow has its own shortcut and filters — show minimized windows or not, the current Space only or all Spaces, and more.

To quit, click the menu-bar icon ▸ Quit Tab.


Building from source or cutting a release? See DEVELOPMENT.md (it's a Swift project — plain bash scripts, no Node/pnpm).
