## 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](https://bahoom.com/hyperswitch) and [HyperDock](https://bahoom.com/hyperdock) | Closed-source. Thumbnails are too small. App icon is on top of the thumbnail |
|
|
| [WindowSwitcher](https://www.noteifyapp.com/windowswitcher/) | 7$. Thumbnails are small and blurry. App icon is on top of the thumbnail |
|
|
| [Switch](https://github.com/numist/Switch) | Open Source. Thumbnails are small. Very little customization. Latest release is from 2016 |
|
|
| [Witch](https://manytricks.com/witch/) and [Context](https://contexts.co/) | 10-15$. Closed-source. Focus on text. No thumbnails |
|
|
| Built-in [MissionControl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Control_\(macOS\)) | No keyboard support |
|
|
| `⌘ command` + `⇥ tab` | Only shows apps, not windows (note: can press down to see window of selected app) |
|
|
| `⌘ command` + `` ` `` | Cycles through tabs and windows, but only of the same app. Only cycling, no direct access |
