Product Description:

Have you ever wanted to switch to a certain window, not just the application it belongs to? While you can use Expose to switch windows, doing so can be very clumsy if you're the keyboard-only type of user. And don't all of these windows look just the same when they are scaled down?

Witch lets you access all of your windows by pressing a shortcut and choosing from a clearly arranged list of window titles. Moreover, you can use Witch to...
  • Directly access minimized windows without using your mouse
  • Close minimized windows without bringing them to front first
  • Zoom, de-/minimize, and close windows on the fly

What's new in this version:

  • [new] To make minimized windows more discernible, their icons are now displayed inside their own little "docks". (You can edit those docks' border color in the "Appearance" section of the Witch preference pane.)
  • Available languages: English, French, German.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel

Witch ReviewDoesn't work with Spaces; slow/nonresponsive tech support - Version: 2.0.2, 6/20/2009 11:03AM PST

Great product but doesn't work properly with Spaces.

When you use Witch's keyboard shortcut to cycle through ALL of your applications when Spaces is active, Witch won't show you all of your applications from the OTHER spaces. It shows you SOME of your applications from the other spaces, but not ALL of your applications from the other spaces. You actually have to switch over to that other space first and THEN use the keyboard shortcut to cycle through those applications that are located in that space. But then the same problem crops up over there -- the applications from the PREVIOUS space that you were in don't all show up again.

Emailed tech support about this issue 2 days ago and haven't heard back yet. Will consider upgrading to a better review if we hear back from tech support or get this issue resolved in a future update.

This is not free anymore, and is not USD$9.99 as listed above. It is €9.99 (Euro, in case that char did not render).

This is functionality that should be part of OS X by default.

Everyone has to eat but it's annoying that this software went shareware for $9.99 like every other piece of Mac software you need.
