Command-Tab Plus extends the macOS app switcher with favorites, filtering and keyboard navigation. See how SMBAct adds window management on top of switching.

Command-Tab Plus is a switcher application designed for macOS that enhances the native Command-Tab functionality. It provides an improved app-switching experience, allowing users to quickly navigate between open applications and windows. Here are some key features and functionalities of Command-Tab Plus:

- App Switching: Command-Tab Plus enhances the native macOS app switcher, providing a more visually appealing and user-friendly interface. It allows users to switch between applications with a simple keyboard shortcut (Command + Tab) and displays a thumbnail preview of each open application.
- Window Switching: In addition to app switching, Command-Tab Plus allows users to switch between individual windows within an application. This feature enables quick navigation and organization of multiple open windows, making it easier to find and switch to the desired window.
- Customization Options: The application provides customization options for the switcher appearance and behavior. Users can choose from different switcher styles, adjust the thumbnail size, and configure various settings to personalize their app-switching experience.
- Favorites and Recent Apps: Command-Tab Plus offers a Favorites section where users can add frequently used applications for quick access. It also keeps track of recently used applications, making it convenient to switch back to recently used apps without scrolling through a long list.
- Keyboard Navigation: The switcher supports keyboard navigation, allowing users to switch between applications using arrow keys or numbers assigned to each application. This feature provides a faster and more efficient way to navigate through open applications.
- Application Filtering: Command-Tab Plus allows users to customize the app-switcher view by excluding specific applications from the list. This can be useful for hiding background utilities or other applications that are not frequently accessed.

SMBAct can be a good alternative to Command-Tab Plus for users seeking not only an enhanced app-switching experience but also advanced window management capabilities, multi-display support, and customization options.
