One shortcut.
All your windows.

Press ⌥ Tab to see every window of the app you're in — including minimized ones, across every Space — and raise the one you want. Without ever leaving the keyboard.

Safari — 5 windows

On your Mac, it's ⌥ Tab. Here, try ↑ ↓ or the buttons.

Why this exists

macOS has no built-in way to switch between windows of the same app with the keyboard alone. ⌘` cycles, but skips minimized windows and gives you no preview of what you're switching to.

OptionTab fixes that. One keystroke, a focused list, every window including minimized ones, no mouse. That is the entire product.

What you get

  • Forward and back

    ⌥ Tab cycles forward, ⌥ ⇧ Tab cycles back. Both registered globally.

  • Every window, every Space

    Lists windows from all Spaces, including ones that are minimized or hidden.

  • Minimized-aware

    Minimized windows are clearly marked and automatically restored when selected.

  • Liquid Glass UI

    Built for macOS 26 with the native glass effect. No custom chrome, no lookalike styling.

  • Menu bar only

    No Dock icon. Launches at login if you want. Stays out of the way.

  • Zero dependencies

    Swift 6, strict concurrency, no third-party code. Open source under MIT.

One permission, nothing else

OptionTab needs Accessibility access to read window titles, raise windows, unminimize them, and listen for ⌥ Tab globally. That's it. No Screen Recording, no Full Disk Access, no Input Monitoring. A guided prompt walks you through it on first launch.
