I created TabTab as a powerful and intuitive alternative to the default Command+Tab app switcher on Mac. TabTab goes beyond simple app switching by introducing robust features like window management, tab management, and the ability to search through all your open windows and tabs with ease. - For example, as you program in VSCode and browse in Chrome, you will be able to switch to their individual tabs through TabTab, instead of having to switch to the app before finding your tab within the app. Designed to feel seamless and native to macOS, it’s a great productivity tool for those who juggle multiple tasks or apps. It's also a one time purchase and there will be free updates to improve the app. There are also customisations available in the settings for you to tune it to your liking. For a limited time, TabTab is available at 30% off! Thank you for your support, and I hope it helps make your Mac workflow smoother than ever.

Love the seamless approach! Could you share more about TabTab's memory optimization? This is crucial for power users managing many windows. 🖥️

@xiaoluoboding thanks for asking! TabTab is fully native, built with SwiftUI and the latest Swift concurrency features, so memory usage is usually low and well handled (around 50mb) even with many tabs opened. I am working to make that even better though.

Really cool idea! I would love to have an option to show me the windows/tabs of only the application I'm currently in. I don't really need it to switch apps normally, I usually just type it in Raycast or regular app switcher, but finding tabs or secondary windows of safari for example would be really nice! Is something like that planned?

@fvates next update will add an option to make the Tab Bar be persistent when it shows up, and you will be able to search immediately. I'll expand on the feature set from there!

Amazing job, Richard! I tested it and was sold in minutes, just got myself a licence. macOs really needs a better window switcher, and this one is the best I've tried.

A big fan of anything that makes my Mac more fun and useful to use - TabTab does exactly that. I find it really useful when I have a ton of Cursor tab/files open and I'm referring to documentation on a browser. It also looks great and pairs really well with NotchNook!

Everything that's a replacement for cmd+tab is a win! Might not be just for me, but I know many for whom I'll recommend this! Naturally need to try this out my self. But based on the video demo this looks amazing!

Finally someone fixing that cmd+tab nightmare! Lost count of how many times I've cmd+tabbed to Chrome just to spend another minute finding that one Figma tab buried among 50 others. Quick q - can it remember tab groups? Would be clutch to quickly switch between 'current project specs' and 'design inspiration' tabs without hunting through browser chaos

@thealisoneyo don't quote me on this but I think grouping might be on the pipeline!

@thealisoneyo Would the tab groupings be based on what you've defined in chrome etc, or would you like to define it within TabTab? I'll experiment with this :)

@ihuzaifashoukat Thanks! I would probably say the ability to search for any window or tab! Its great for finding tabs from anywhere on your machine.

Review TabTab?

TabTab is praised for its intuitive interface and enhanced functionality over macOS's native window management. Users appreciate its ability to efficiently manage windows and tabs across various applications. However, some feedback highlights areas for improvement, such as response time and shortcut flexibility. Users suggest adding adjustable response times and more shortcut options. Despite these minor issues, the app is well-received for its potential to streamline workflows, especially for power users. Overall, TabTab is seen as a valuable tool for enhancing productivity on macOS.

So much potential here for a lightweight and fast solution for the disorganized or overloaded power user! But: 1) Limited and mandatory selection of one of only two (2) keyboard shortcuts (⌘+Tab or Option+Tab) is rough. Either replace macOS' native application switcher or replace a common shortcut for AltTab users who may need to visually see contents of the window they're searching for. (I actually love the ⌘+Shift+K shortcut to essentially do the same thing as the prior keyboard shortcuts, but you're actually one step closer to filtering and finding your tabs since you're in "Search Mode" now and can easily hit the ESC key to exit. I personally think this should be the sole and primary shortcut because you're downloading TabTab to search for and find tabs quickly and efficiently.) 2) It would be INCREDIBLE if you could add support to search through tabs on Superhuman for Desktop on macOS. (They currently lack support for "Tab Management" even though it's their flagship application and a ~Chromium-based/Electron-like desktop application. They are huge and growing exponentially, so your solution could bring much-needed relief for many who use their insanely fast email clients.) As we're talking Chrome here—it just dawned on me that a natural global keyboard shortcut for TabTab could also be ⌘+Shift+A. Best of luck, and thanks for taking the time to review some feedback!
