Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2025)
If anyone is interested, i'm looking for someone to take over a port of Windows alt+tab window switching for the Mac.
The app is very mature, yet it could still be improved in interesting ways.

Show HN: Robata, macOS window selector
Hi OP,
I'm the author of AltTab (https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/), a popular window switcher for macOS, imitating Windows famous alt+tab shortcut. I know for a fact how hard it is to implement what you did. It looks very nice, well done!
I see you ran into the issue of not being able to detect windows from other Spaces. Apple introduced it in macOS 12.2. If you're curious, you can see the vast efforts we've deployed trying to find a workaround: https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos/issues/1324
Thank you

Ask HN: What macOS apps/programs do you use daily and recommend?
MicDrop - Add a global "mute microphone" button in the status bar (https://getmicdrop.com/)
AltTab - Give the same (sane) behaviour to cmd+tab as alt+tab on Windows (https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/)
Rectangle - Window snapping (https://rectangleapp.com/)
Maccy - A clipboard history manager (https://maccy.app/)
DropZone - Add a "shelf" zone in the same way as Dropover. It's less good than Dropover, but it's available in Homebrew (whereas Dropover is only available in the app store) (https://aptonic.com/)
Notion Calendar (previously cron) - I love having my next meetings displayed in the status bar, and its notifications are very useful (eg. they have a "join google meet" button)

macOS Bartender Auto-Update Signed by Unknown New Owner
Rectangle user for years, great app. Today I got frustrated enough to find AltTab (https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/), huge improvement to my workflow already.
Sometimes when cmd+tab'ing between apps it'll bring the selected window to the foreground, and sometimes it won't. They'll regain focus for typing, but are hidden behind another window for whatever reason. Fully open windows too, not minimized or anything. Was driving me mad having to click between IntelliJ and Chrome hundreds of times while doing web UI work instead of quick switching with the keyboard.
