Is there a way to disable the advanced window management and scope features? I'm tempted to try out your utility because of the Search & Switch feature. However, I'm already using a window manager (aerospace) that I'm not ready to replace. Given how aerospace works, I suspect the window management/scope features would clash.

That's a really great question, and you're right, not everyone will need the Scopes or arrangement features, especially if they already have a window manager like aerospace that they love.

Right now, there isn't a single toggle to disable them, but they are designed to be completely opt-in. The arrangement features only activate if you explicitly multi-select windows and choose a layout, so they shouldn't interfere with your setup if you're just using Macscope for searching and switching.

That said, I completely agree that a dedicated 'switcher-only' mode is a fantastic idea. I'll add an option to disable the advanced management features in an upcoming version. Thanks for the great suggestion!

In the meantime, the free trial should be safe to use alongside aerospace if you stick to the search/switch functionality.

If you just want to autocomplete and switch to a certain window, RayCast has a switcher that lets you filter by app name or window title:
