About BetterCmdTab
BetterCmdTab expands the usual application switcher into a window-focused interface. It offers search, layout choices, and controls for managing windows directly from the switcher.
Browser-tab integrations and tiling actions extend the workflow. Accessibility permission is required, and the upstream project separates stable releases from beta builds.
