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.
- Download the latest Tab.zip from the Releases page.
- Unzip it and move Tab.app into your Applications folder.
- Open the Terminal app and run this once, so macOS will let the app open:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Tab.app - 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).
- ⌘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.
