What you get

You can reach buried windows and tabs without cycling through apps.

You get a keyboard-driven way to reach the window or tab you need, even when it is hidden behind other work. Press a hotkey, type a few letters, and switch directly to a match instead of scanning Mission Control or cycling through apps. You can also find individual tabs in Safari, Terminal, iTerm, Cursor, and other apps that expose their tabs to accessibility tools.

You can make recurring work easier to return to by tagging related windows, filtering by those tags, and keeping favorites at the top. Results also reflect what you have used frequently and recently over the past seven days, including windows you reached through the Dock or Cmd-Tab.

When you want to tidy up, you can surface windows you have not used lately and decide what to close. If you prefer a visible reference, you can keep the panel in front beside your work; its list updates as windows open and close.

  • Reach hidden work

    You can jump straight to a buried window by typing a few letters instead of browsing every open app.

  • Find the right tab

    You can switch directly to individual tabs in Safari and other supported apps without scanning tab bars.

  • Return to regular work

    You can tag related windows and pin favorites so the work you revisit stays easier to find.

  • Spot forgotten windows

    You can find windows you have not touched recently and decide which ones to close.

Best for

  • You work with many overlapping windows
  • You juggle tabs in Safari or supported coding tools
  • You prefer typing to navigating Mission Control

Skip it if

You probably do not need it if you keep only a few windows open and already switch between them comfortably.

From the developer

WindowHopper turns window switching into a typing flow. Hit a hotkey, type a few letters from any open window or browser tab, and hop straight there. It works at the individual tab level too, so finding a specific Safari tab takes the same couple of keystrokes as finding a window.
