About

I built scrolodex to scratch my own itch of having a quick and simple way to switch between the currently open windows under my cursor.Simply hold ⌥ + scroll to cycle through windows under your cursor. Release to focus.Also includes triggers for scrolling through all windows, dock app's windows, or switching between desktop spaces. Configurable hotkeys, themes and overlays.Completely free and OSS.brew install --cask jaydenfyi/tap/scrolodexWebsite/demo: https://scrolodex.app/ GitHub: https://github.com/jaydenfyi/scrolodex

Not sure how this differentiates from what macOS already offers with Mission Control and App Exposé, especially when those are free and built in.

Opt+scroll is a smart interaction model. Window enumeration under the cursor presumably uses CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo, and handling of sandboxed apps with restricted accessibility access would be the main edge case to account for.

cycling z-order via alt-scroll instead of cmd-tabbing through fifty chrome windows is the move.

way faster than cmd+tab when you have tons of stuff open

anything to avoid the cmd+tab spiral, does it play nice with multiple monitors

cmd+tab already does this for free
