alt-tabr vs Drifty

alt-tabr swaps the standard Command Tab app switcher on macOS for one that lists each individual window, including minimised ones, while using very little memory.

drifty goes beyond app-level tracking, using AI to understand what you do inside each app, separate focus from drift, and reveal clearer workday insights.

About alt-tabr

alt-tabr is a native window switcher for macOS 13 and later, written entirely in Rust and running on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It hooks into the familiar Command Tab shortcut but shows every open window rather than just apps, and it restores minimised windows when they are selected. Three visual themes are offered: one that hangs from the camera notch, a carousel and a Liquid Glass style. The app needs only the Accessibility permission, never screen recording, and collects no analytics. In the maker's own benchmarks against AltTab, it used far less memory, CPU time and energy. It sells for a 9 USD launch price, normally 29 USD, with lifetime updates.
