AltTab Pro 11.1.0 for Mac
AltTab brings a Windows-style window switcher to macOS: hold a shortcut, see live previews of open windows, and jump to the one you need. The app is free and open source at its core; AltTab Pro is a paid tier that unlocks search, extra layouts, auto-sizing thumbnails, and multiple custom shortcuts.
How it feels day to day
macOS Mission Control shows spaces and apps differently from the Alt+Tab grid many users know from Windows. AltTab overlays thumbnails (or icons or titles in Pro) while you keep the modifier key pressed, with optional live preview as you highlight each window. You can close or minimize windows from the switcher, use trackpad gestures, and run in dark mode so the UI matches your system theme.
- Fast switching when many apps and windows are open at once
- High-quality window thumbnails in the free tier
- Works on Intel and Apple Silicon from macOS 10.13 High Sierra onward (per vendor site)
- 14-day trial of Pro features for new installs
Free vs Pro
Everyone gets reliable window switching, thumbnails, dark mode, live preview, window controls, and trackpad gestures. Pro adds:
- App Icons and Window Titles appearance styles (dock-like icons or compact text lists)
- Instant search—type to filter by window title or app name
- Auto Size—thumbnail grid scales with how many windows are open
- Up to nine independent keyboard shortcuts with per-shortcut filters
Pro is a one-time purchase (about $9.99 on the official site). The project stays GPL-3.0 on GitHub, so advanced users can also build from source; licensing applies to the distributed Pro build after the trial.
Version 11.1.0
Released 25 May 2026: support for non-Latin keyboard layouts, better handling of hidden Electron app windows, improved browser tab detection, and fixes for rare crashes when assigning shortcuts, capturing thumbnails, or quitting. Build 11.1.0 is the current stable line on the official GitHub releases page.
