About Manico
Manico launches and switches apps on macOS from the keyboard. By default, Option plus a number key opens or brings forward the matching app, replacing repeated Command+Tab presses or trips to the Dock.
It has three modes: Dock mode maps the apps in the Dock, Switcher mode maps currently open apps, and Custom mode lets you choose apps and assign your own shortcuts. Preferences cover appearance, the launch bar position and whether a menu bar icon is shown.
Strengths
- Opens or switches to apps with a single key combination
- Dock, Switcher and Custom modes
