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.

About TopRec

TopRec ranks your shortlist against the job description, writes tailored interview questions, drafts outreach, and briefs your hiring manager. Pay per job, no subscription. TopRec turns your shortlist into a plan: the five worth your time, questions tailored to each candidate, outreach that gets replies, and a hiring-manager brief with your top pick and why. PDFs or Word docs, your ranked shortlist is ready in minutes. The same person across two jobs is one contact in your CRM.
