First-Letter & Pinyin Jump with MRU Cycling
Press A–Z while the switcher is open to jump straight to an app. Chinese app names automatically match by Pinyin initial without switching input sources. Press the same letter repeatedly to cycle through matches in MRU order.
Three Ways to Quick-Quit Background Apps
No need to switch into an app just to press ⌘Q. Press Delete (⌫), long-press the matching letter key, or middle-click any app icon in the panel to request normal termination.
Custom Modifier Shortcuts & Middle-Mouse Trigger
Replaces ⌘-Tab by default, or switch to ⌥-Tab or ⌃-Tab anytime in settings. Enable optional long-press middle mouse button triggering for effortless one-handed switching.
Pure Swift 6 Native & Strict Privacy Boundaries
Built with Swift 6 and AppKit with zero private APIs. Instant response even with 20+ running apps. Never requests Screen Recording permission; connects once only for license activation and runs 100% offline with zero telemetry.
