Make the switcher yours.

Set it up once to match how you work. After that, switching just feels obvious.

Your shortcut

Hold ⌘, ⌥ or ⌃ with any trigger key you like. Tab is the default, and Shift goes backwards.

Your look

Thumbnails, app icons or a list. Small, medium, large or auto size. Light, dark or follow the system.

Your order, your filters

Sort by recently focused, recently launched or name. Choose whether minimized, hidden and fullscreen windows show up.

Per app or per window

Keep one item per app, or list every window on its own so two browser windows never hide behind each other.

Current screen or all screens

Show only what's on the screen you're using, or everything. Saltabo follows the Space you're in.

Supports 10 languages

English, Vietnamese, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Portuguese and Italian.

PRO

Dock previews

Hover an app in the Dock to see its windows, then click one to jump to it. Set the size, distance and titles.

PRO

Excluded apps

Keep the apps you never switch to out of the way.

PRO

Ultimate control

Close or minimize windows from the switcher, or press / while the switcher is open and type an app or window name.

Download & install

03

Press ⌘ + Tab

Hold ⌘, tap Tab to cycle and release to jump. Change the shortcut, style and filters from the menu bar icon → Settings.
