About Witch
Witch replaces or extends the built-in macOS Command-Tab switcher. It can switch between apps, individual windows and tabs, and you can set up several switchers, each with its own sort order, orientation and tab handling. Switchers can be shown horizontally, vertically or in the menu bar.
It suits people with many windows open across many apps, including those coming from Windows. Witch 4.7 requires macOS 10.13 High Sierra or newer. A licence includes at least a year of updates and remains valid permanently.
