About Alt-Tab Terminator

Alt-Tab Terminator replaces the standard Windows Alt+Tab dialog with a window that lists all running tasks alongside their names and preview snapshots. You can search the list and move through it with the keyboard or mouse.

It follows Windows 11 design guidelines and switches automatically between light, dark and high-contrast themes. It is the successor to VistaSwitcher and TaskSwitchXP. A free version is available, and a Pro licence adds more features.

Strengths

  • Search the list of open windows
  • Large live previews
  • Follows light, dark and high-contrast themes

Limitations

  • Windows only
  • Some features require the paid Pro licence
