Syphon is a command-tab replacement and switcher for apps and windows, optimized for a specific workflow: bring up the switcher, type a few characters (ideally just one), activate whatever you need, and get back to work.
This is the way I like to use my Mac, and being unsatisfied with both first and third–party switchers (tried many) of the platform, I decided to build one myself.
I engineered it for speed and keyboard usage and with great fuzzy search features, and I'm very proud of how the UI and the interactions turned out. It has now become an indispensable part of my daily workflow (constantly dogfooding it!). I guarantee you'll switch to the app you need in no time — even with hundreds open.
Highlights
- App switcher: activate running apps and bring individual windows to the front.
- Fuzzy searching: search through running apps, windows and non-running apps. Syphon learns your habits and improves with usage.
- App Launcher: searching includes non-running apps too!
- Window previews: see big and beautiful thumbnails of window contents (macOS 14+).
- Actions: quit or hide an app; minimize, un-minimize or close windows — all through Syphon.
- One-key activation: hold the last typed key to select the first search result (a–la LaunchBar).
