Product Description:

WindowSwitch is a simple application that allows you to quickly navigate between active applications as well as the windows associated with the application. WindowSwitch displays a small resizable window showing all active applications. Click on an application, and all windows associated with that application are displayed. Double-click on a window or application in the list and the clicked item is immediately brought to the front.

No more maneuvering through countless windows trying to find the one you want. No more squinting while using Expose trying to find the window you want. Instead the application and its associated windows are presented in an easy-to-read window.

What's new in this version:

  • Kill Process: quits any active application
  • Open File: opens any file or application
  • Close Window: close the selected window from the active window list.
  • Create a list of Applications and set WindowSwitch to either ignore the applications in the list, or to only use the applications in the list.
  • Mini popup on main window to quickly access WindowSwitch functions.

Operating System Requirements:

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

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

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 or higher. Universal Binary.

Peter Maurer's "Witch" which seems to do the same thing only better and free.

WindowSwitch CommentaryVery impressed with the support - do give this app a try! - Version: 1.2, 10/16/2006 10:13AM PST

I downloaded this app hoping that it would fix my wish of being able to switch between application windows with a hot key. When I couldn't find how I emailed the developer, who replyed within 5 minutes that it would be added, and also showed me a way of doing this within the finder, eliminating my need for his app! Thus I'm encouraging everyone to give WindowSwitch a try if it looks like it might be useful - and if there is any question you have or feature you want added do not hesitate to contact the developer. He has to be one of the most helpful I have ever worked with!

WindowSwitch ReviewKudos for responsiveness - Version: 1.2, 10/16/2006 07:26AM PST

I wrote the last review (different screen name). Okay, I will have to say this: they do appear to read reviews and respond. I could see some advantages to this program at this point. For instance, as far as I know, Witch only gives the window list when you hit the hot key. That list also seems to appear only in the center of the screen. WindowSwitch can be accessible at all times and is moveable. I do tend to have a lot of apps and windows open regularly. I've been using DragThing's window function, but I'm considering WindowSwitch because I can more quickly and intuitively find the program I'm looking for. I appreciate the developer's rapid responsiveness.
