Plash VS alt-tab-macos

Plash - Price: Free Menu bar app for macOS that allows you to create and manage web apps as if they were native apps.

Any monitor I’m not currently using displays a set of prod graphs / monitoring / observability tooling (I use Plash https://sindresorhus.com/plash to load Grafana dashboards as my desktops) — they were hidden in the above photo for NDA reasons.

My free Plash app lets you make any website your desktop wallpaper, which could include videos, visualisations, etc. Some ideas.

I saw your post here about running multiple instances, however I'm running an older build of the app (due to an older OS) so I can't download and run the other builds of Plash with different bundle ID's you've uploaded.

You could use my (free) Plash app for this. Simply make a index.html file with the text you want. Could just be

I use Plash, an app that allows you to overlay a website on your desktop. The website is running locally on my machine and uses a GraphQL API I made for the stats.

I use AltTab [0] for this. I find using a mac without it horrendous.

I know of this app which allows you to port that functionality: https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/

Disclaimer: I have never used it, one of my colleagues mentioned it a while ago.

If you're using a Mac, I really recommend alt-tab https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/.

I love cmd+tab on a mac to switch between applications, but I was missing a feature to switch between windows of the same application. Alt+tab solves that in the same manner Windows does.

I know this isn’t the point of your post, but in case it helps your experience in MacOS:

1. You can change the setting so that workspaces do not change their position/order. See: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/214348/how-to-prev...

2. The third party app “alt-tab” provides an alt tab experience that is much better than the native one, and is likely more similar to the behavior you expect from Linux. See: https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app

I also personally like to use Rectangle for window positioning using keyboard shortcuts, tried the various auto tiling solutions like yabai and amethyst in the past but I think the flexibility of Rectangle is worth having to remember and use a few keyboard shortcuts.

I think it’s unfortunate that so many third party apps are required, but with a bit of babysitting MacOS can be pretty decent to work with.

There's likely a delay so that you can use Alt-Tab to quickly go back to your last window without the pop-up showing. I use AltTab on macOS like this, which has a configurable delay.
