∞ Witch 3.0 window switching utility released

Written by

Many Tricks on Wednesday released Witch 3.0, the newest version of the company’s window switching utility.

As you may know, Mac OS X has its own, built-in command to bring up a list of currently running applications. You can then choose one of the apps, release the Command+Tab keys and you will be taken to that app.

Witch takes this a step further by allowing you to choose among open windows in an app. By activating Witch, you are given a list of the apps and the windows. This comes in very handy if you typically keep a lot of apps open and have multiple windows in each app.

Personally, I have that problem, especially with Safari running.

Witch has a variety of preferences that allow you to control every aspect of how the app works, including how it looks and keyboard shortcuts.

Witch 3 requires Mac OS X 10.5 or newer and costs $19. A free upgrade will be given to users who purchased Witch 2 after March 17, 2010. Existing users from before the cut-off date can upgrade to Witch 3 for $8.

    Nice, but desperately missing a visual preview AKA windowflow.app (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/33709/windowflow)

    There are a couple reasons we don't have previews. First, there's a possible speed issue with them when you've got a lot of open windows. Second, it complicates the UI quite a bit: where do you show them, what do you do with them if someone closes a window that's showing a preview, etc.

    However, we know it's something people like to see, so we're investigating for a future release.
