Witch App Reviews

This is the task switcher Apple forgot to include with OS X. Its fully replaced my default Cmd+Tab switcher. My only request is an option to allow for the escape key to cancel an operation. Hopefully well see this in an update. Other than that, fantastic app, well worth the money.

Love it to pieces. But even with this latest update Witch still needs behaviour to be properly Lion implemented. It needs to correctly list/show apps that are open in fullscreen (which in Lion is a different "space"). Even with "List windows from all Spaces" checked theyre still not showing up. It treats them as "applications without windows" and asks you to show an Activate or Relaunch icon next to them. Selecting that window will also get you no response from Witch. Otherwise, fantastic almost 5-star app. Well done.

I picked up Witch originally for one specific functionality - the ability to make a minimized application window become maximized from the dock when Cmd+Tabd to. With the default finder functionality you have to Cmd+Tab to the application, it comes into focus, then you still have to click the minimized window to bring it into view. The way Witch handles it is so much better. My only complaint is in regards to the visual style of the app. Compared to the icon sizes they present, I find the text to be uncomfortably large. You can change the size of the text but the icon size changes with it. Id love the option to adjust the font size independently, keeping the icons a little larger and the text a little smaller. But, its a minor complaint. This is a solid app that I use every day and Im a huge fan.

Nothing to complain except that the program is not very responsive sometimes.

Love the App. Brought a well needed feature to OSX.

Funcionally this app is great, it even gives a great amount of control over what and how it is displayed. However I think the design could be a lot better, the elements are very close to each other and theres no option to control the line height or padding. The container could also use more breathing room around the edges. Icons could be bigger depending on font size. It would also be nice to be able to remove the bottom message "Dont see all your windows? read more".

I can’t use a Mac that doesnt have this installed, so I’m really glad that Witch has been updated and still works on Mac OS X 10.9!

Please add iCloud/Dropbox support so that it can sync my config over all my Macs. Thanks

I can’t stand how OSX will not maximize windows when you alt-tab (unless you use option or arrows - ugg). This app is well done and very much worth the price. Works great. Many thanks to the developer.

Still the best window switcher out there! No problems with Yosemite! This is how it works: instead of the Application Switcher’s Cmd-Tab move your thumb over one key and use Option-Tab to activate Witch. Works right out of the box, but there are enough tweakable settings to customize it perfectly to your individual needs. Email responsiveness from Many Tricks is fantastic: usually within one day, sometimes within a few hours. Very impressive-- keep up the good work Rob and Peter!

I’ve been a mac guy for years, but I started working on PC at work and I loved the task switching features of a PC over Mac. This is makes my mac so much better with seamless integration. My only wish is that the design was more like the traditional Mac or PC versions, but that’s just me being nit picky ;-)
