## About

BetterCmdTab replaces the macOS ⌘Tab app switcher with a native window switcher for Mac. It gives every open window its own entry, with list, grid, and live-preview layouts, fuzzy search, app launching, browser tab drill-in, and support for minimized windows, multiple Spaces, and displays.

The menu bar app also includes window tiling, display moves, force quit, per-app hotkeys, unread badges, audio indicators, and live JSON configuration. BetterCmdTab is free, open source under GPL v3, signed and notarized, and uses no telemetry, analytics, or crash reporting.
