## About

AbcTab is a native macOS app and window switcher for people who frequently move between many open apps or windows. It replaces ⌘-Tab by default and lets users jump to an app by English or Pinyin initial, cycle matches in MRU order, and switch across Spaces and full-screen windows.

The switcher can expand multi-window lists automatically, restore minimized windows, and quit background apps without opening them. AbcTab supports English and Simplified Chinese interfaces, requires only Accessibility permission, and runs offline after one-time license activation.
