About Sxitch
Sxitch switches apps and windows by typing part of their name. It offers list and radial views, pinned apps, prefix stripping, app renames and custom modes that can launch apps or run shell commands. It suits people who switch between many apps and windows and prefer typing a name to cycling with Command-Tab.
The README does not state a minimum macOS version or whether the build is notarized. The free plan covers core switching but leaves out features such as window picking, blacklists, key overrides and app-specific hotkeys, which are part of Pro at $2 a month or $10 as a one-time payment. The free plan is free to download; Pro is the paid upgrade. Auto-updates with Sparkle are on the roadmap and not yet shipped.
