macOS App Switcher
Opinionated Application Launcher
Press Right ⌘ and a number. Use ←/→ to swap workspaces instantly.
"Use the unused Command key for the thing you do all day: switching apps."
Two steps. Half a second.
Hold Right ⌘
The overlay appears — a numbered grid of every running app. Your left Command key stays untouched for normal shortcuts.
Press a number
Hit 1–9 or 0 to jump straight to that app. Add custom app shortcuts too, like O for Obsidian. No ⌘⇥ cycling, no searching.
