Alternatives
Before building my own app, I looked around at similar apps. However, none was completely satisfactory so I rolled my own. Also, the almost-good-enough apps are not open-source.
| Alternative | Differences |
|---|---|
| HyperSwitch and HyperDock | Closed-source. Thumbnails are too small. App icon is on top of the thumbnail |
| WindowSwitcher | 7$. Thumbnails are small and blurry. App icon is on top of the thumbnail |
| Switch | Open Source. Thumbnails are small. Very little customization. Latest release is from 2016 |
| Witch and Context | 10-15$. Closed-source. Focus on text. No thumbnails |
| Built-in MissionControl | No keyboard support |
⌘ command + ⇥ tab |
