How to Switch Apps on macOS Without ⌘ + Tab

⌘ + Tab is the default—but it’s not the fastest.

Problems With ⌘ + Tab

• Linear cycling through apps
• Requires visual scanning
• Wastes time with each switch

Alternatives

• Spotlight (typing + Enter)
• Raycast (search-heavy)
• Assignee (direct shortcuts, no Enter)

Final Thought

Escape ⌘ + Tab. With Assignee, switching apps is instant and predictable.
