[Giveaway] Sxitch - The better App Switcher
You just got an email about an urgent call you have to take. You're in Mail, and want to switch to zoom, which has been laying dormant for a while now. You could just cmd tab tab tab tab tab and keep tabbing till you reach zoom. Or you could press `rcmd` and press z. 2 key presses and you're there. Thats Sxitch. But what if you also have Zen open? What if you wanted to pick Zen instead of Zoom? Well then `ze` for zen and `zo` for zoom. 1 to 2 extra key pressed but still better than `tab`x23 It can also do: - app quitting - app hiding - blacklisting - theme customisation - overrides (so f can map out to firefox always) - skip prefixes (so microsoft and adobe get stripped off) All while taking up 70-100mb with 17 apps open, and ultra low energy usage (0.1 - 0.2 when not in use) Note: it doesn't use any webview stuff. Comparing it to: - Dory - Focuses more on mouse based picking - RCMD - Similar in many fashions. - Raycast - Manual setup + only works on select few apps. Others require pressing enter. Raycast is a launcher, not a switcher What you get for free: - App switching - Tree based picker ( The method described earlier) - All resolvers (So instead of app name it would be abcd / qwerty / 01234) , - All themes and customisation of the themes. Quitting every 36 hours has been removed. So you can enjoy Sxitch free for as long as you want! Pro features: - App hiding / quitting (Much more useful than it feels on the surface) - Priority support - A few places won't have the Sxitch branding - One time payment, all future updates. As this app is still new, I'm giving out 100% and US$5 Discounts for the pro plan 100% free -> use code MACAPPS (limited to first 10 people) $5 off -> use code MACOS (limited to first 100 people) If you're a student, email me (support@sxitch.app) using your school email prove it to me that you're a student, and I'll give you a 50% discount.

20 Minutes in and 4 licenses alr sold.. DAMN people want free software..
Uhhh 9 are gone..
Dayum all are gone in ~30 min...
You ever heard the saying, if it’s free it’s for me?
Nope.. but LOL thats hilarious..
Compared to the app Context, I miss a list view - and context is 10 USD...
unable to see where to apply coupon code, can you help
People claimed all the free one already 😭😭😭 I thought it would last about an hour or 2… it ran out in 30 minutes..
You should offer more free codes for us Reddit users!
Nice!! Thank you
You're welcome! I saw you purchased it.. let me know if you encounter any bugs! There can be a few bugs that I haven't encountered since I'm the developer..
Thank you! Are you planning to implement switching within open window?
Yes that is in the planned features!!
best use of rust knowledge!!!!
ikr
I need this sadly missed out on free one said code didn’t exist
Yea it got claimed in 30 minutes.. CRAZY how quickly it ran out actually.. theres still a $5 USD Discount and the app does work if in a free plan so theres that.
if i had a macbook i would definitely use this 🤩🤩
Nope. Rcmd requires me to take my hand off the mouse or trackpad, which I will likely have to put back the moment I switch the app. This is friction. My left hand is already on the keyboard, and Lcmd + tab, tab with something like Alt+Tab or Switch is faster and more convenient.
You can change it.. RCMD is just the default because thats arguably the least used modifier key on Mac keyboards.
Slightly overpriced, think you would do more at half what you are asking for tbh
I don't think such a cost is justified for this type of use of your app.
Then use the free tier.. It gets the main job done of doing the app switching.. and its not even a trial, its just a lifetime free tier.
How is it different from the rcmd app?
Compared to rcmd v3, Sxitch has a tree based app picker and also does hiding and quitting for the apps. Also from what I can see RCMD doesn’t offer theming of the app itself.
