This works as advertised. For years I have used Command + Tab to switch between apps quickly and Command + Tilde to switch between tabs or windows when in an app. It's become instinctive for me. Having this installed brings another option in being able to view ALL open windows. However, I'm unsure if this is improving my efficiency and speed over using the other two methods. Still, one cannot complain as this is a free utility. Thanks dev for making this available and updating it regularly.

This works well as described, so if you install it, it will do what it says. I tried it for about a week, but found that the Mac application switcher was more intuitive, so it was faster for me. But this one shows more info and if you've been enjoying the Windows application switcher, you'll really like this on your Mac.

This works even better than the default macOS app switcher. It allows to select a specific window of an app, when more than a single window of the same app are open. I like this so much that I have assigned ⌘Tab - this is now my new default app switcher. Thanks for developing this amazing open source app.

Umm... Command-Tab does the same thing and has been built into the Mad OS since at least System 7. Not sure why this would be used--and yes, I do get that it's free.
