How it works
1️⃣ Fast app switching
Press the modifier key (default: Option)
Numeric labels 1–9 and 0 appear on Dock icons
activates the corresponding app
hides it if it’s already active
Pressing a number:
2️⃣ Show all windows of an app
Press another modifier key (default: Control)
- Numeric labels 1–9 and 0 appear on Dock icons
Pressing a number triggers App Exposé for the selected app (all windows of that app are displayed)
Instant switching between apps and windows — no mouse or trackpad required. Keyboard only.
Why use it?
Quickly switch between apps and view their windows directly from your keyboard — just like in Windows and Linux.
The idea was simple and practical, so I decided to bring it to macOS.
Take instant control of your workspace — no mouse or trackpad needed.
Permissions
At first launch, the app will request Accessibility access.
This is required to:
activate apps
manage their state
trigger App Exposé
