- For
- Mac users who switch among many windows and browser tabs
- Worth noticing
- Its privacy page says window and tab titles and previews stay in memory, never saved to disk or sent elsewhere.
Field notes
The switcher can be configured with up to nine shortcuts, each with its own keys and filters; one can be set to take over ⌘Tab. A swipe with three or four fingers can open it and move through windows. The site says window and tab titles and previews remain in memory rather than being saved to disk, and identifies a daily, optional GitHub update check as its only network request.
