Command-Tab Plus 2
Keyboard-centric application and window switcher for your Mac
When you work with a lot of programs which are loaded, switching between them makes a problem, because it often takes a long time. Command-Tab Plus gives you many improvements in working with multiple applications and designed to be an alternative to the built-in macOS Applications Switcher
Requires macOS 10.13 or later, fully compatible with macOS 15.0 (Sequoia), Intel and Apple Silicon (M1–M4).
Last updated May 21, 2025, minimum supported version macOS 11.5 !!!
Main Features
Quick switch between apps
Using digital shortcuts, you can quickly select the application you want without tapping a bunch of keys!
Convenient window switching
To quickly switch between windows of the selected application, call Command-Tab Plus and then press Z or ~.
Isolated Workspaces
When using Command-Tab Plus, by default it displays only the icons of the apps running on the current display or space. Thus, it isolates the apps in one space and the apps in other spaces. Of course, you can disable this function in the app settings.
Hide not used Applications
Command-tab Plus hides the icons of inactive (hidden) apps. This function allows you to quickly switch between the apps you are using at the moment, which is handy if you have a lot of apps in the background, but you don’t want them to show up in the switcher.
Customizable Appearance
You can use the built-in skins or create your own.
Customizable hotkeys and filters for applications
Apple Silicon
Native support for Apple Silicon and Intel Chips
On the market since 2016
Do you easily get distracted by app badges when you use the ⌘+Tab app switcher in macOS?
Do you frequently do screen sharing or recording and don’t want your viewers to see all your open apps or accidentally expose your email address or passwords?
Are you looking for a better window manager to improve your productivity?
Recently, I discovered Command-Tab Plus and MaxSnap from MacPlus Software. These two apps are solving both of those problems for me. Checkout this video for an overview of the benefits of each and how to use them.

CMD+TAB is my favorite shortcut, right behind CMD+C & V.
This might take some getting use to but could be a nice productivity-booster for those switching between apps frequently.

As a web developer, I’m tabbing between windows all day long. Ran the trial for about 30 minutes, before paying for a license. Great job!

I read the product description and I knew that this is something I need. Didn’t even bother to go for the free trial. I went ahead with the ‘Buy Now’ button.

Great thanks, my banner had gone white and I thought the sale had ended. Purchased! For 2 reasons, one I’ve been looking for something like this for quite some time, secondly, your activity here answering questions and feed back. I’ll continue to support developers …
