AltTab gives macOS users access to the capabilities of the Windows “alt-tab” window switcher. Designed to provide Mac users with the effectiveness of Windows’ Alt+Tab, AltTab Pro is a paid upgrade to the well-liked open-source window-switching tool for macOS. The Pro tier provides more sophisticated customisation for power users, although the basic window management is still free.
Features:
- Focus on any window.
- Any window can be minimised, closed, or opened in full-screen mode.
- Hide and shut down any program.
- Adjust AltTab’s look (e.g., display application icons, zoom icon, thumbnail, title size, etc.)
- Personalised keyboard shortcuts for nearly every key
- Blacklist programmes that you don’t want AltTab to launch or list.
- Dark mode
- Drag and drop items on top of the window thumbnails
- Accessibility: Sticky keys, voiceover, less transparency, etc.
Important AltTab Pro Features
Instant Search: Type the title or app name of any window to locate it. This speeds up multitasking and does away with the need to scroll between thumbnails.
Advanced Appearance Styles: Tailor the display of your window previews. A tidy app icons dock, a small titles-only list, or live visual thumbnails are your options.
Auto Size Thumbnails: Depending on how many windows are active, the layout changes dynamically. A cluttered workspace automatically compresses thumbnails to fit properly, but fewer windows provide larger, sharper thumbnails.
Multiple Shortcuts: You can set up to nine different keyboard shortcuts. Different processes can have their own shortcut keys (e.g., separating work apps from personal apps).
Cost and Licensing
Free Version: For general window switching, the primary program is still entirely free and open-source.
Pro Tier: Updates for the most recent major version are included in this $9.99 one-time purchase.
Pro Lifetime: All Pro features plus all upcoming major updates are available for a one-time fee of $24.99.
Trial: To test all of the Pro features, new customers are given a complimentary 14-day trial. Up to three separate Macs can be activated using a single license.
