That's a great link, Alt-Tab is a fantastic utility! I've tried all the popular tools in this space, including Raycast's switcher, and they are all excellent at what they do.

My goal with Macscope was to address a slightly different problem. Most switchers answer the question "what app/window do I want to open?". I found my workflow often involved a second step: "...and now I need to use another tool to position it."

Macscope tries to be a combination of a switcher and an arranger, answering the question "open and where?" in a single action.

A feature I'm really happy with that illustrates this is the new "Placement Mode". You can use a dedicated hotkey (e.g., Ctrl+Opt+L) that tells Macscope "I'm about to switch to a window, and I want it to snap to the right half of the screen." When you select the window, it both switches and arranges in one fluid motion.

Here’s a quick video showing how it works in practice: https://screen.studio/share/pg4H5i4c

It's a different approach, but hopefully a useful one for certain workflows. Thanks for sharing the link for others' reference!

Thank you for sharing this! I've been using Witch Daemon for a while, but it does have the occasional glitches (esp. multi-screen setups). At first impression this is super-fast without lag, I'll keep testing it for a while.
