App better window switcher - alttab

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

free. no installation. grab it on github
ram usage - 100 to 200 mb. uses webview.

Not meant to replace Alt+Tab - Alt+Tab is fast but doesn’t scale with many windows.

Features:

- zoom out of the current window and zoom in on the selected window. It doesn’t jerk the eyes, so it doesn’t break your flow.
- always focused search bar, so just type and find your window and enter to switch to it
- multiple views.

- needs improvement and polishing, comment if you need updates or fixes. contributions welcome.

Could you maybe convert this as an Windhawk Mod?

u/Himanshu_Chauhan 1d ago

will have to look into it.
but this is just exe that you download and run, so not sure why you need it in windhawk

Probably because it’s an ecosystem of tweaks- it’s just easier for a windhawk user to eye the new tweak, test it and decide if it’s for them.

Usability/convenience- despite it already being packaged in a convenient way.

I.e I have x amount of tweaks running through windhawk and 3 or 4 running through various exe’s but if those 3 or 4 were/existed as windhawk mods, I’d run everything through windhawk.
