App switchers

The built-in Command-Tab switcher moves between apps but not between individual windows, and it shows icons rather than what each window contains. App switchers fill that gap with window previews, search, and other ways to jump straight to what you want.

The apps here take different routes: keyboard switchers that list every window with thumbnails, previews that appear when you hover over the Dock, a shortcut assigned to each app, and gestures at the screen edge. Consider whether you prefer the keyboard or the mouse, and whether you switch between apps or between their windows.
