Show HN: Macscope – I decide to built a better Cmd-Tab replacement for macOS Hi HN, Macscope is a new window manager and and app switcher for macOS built on the philosophy of enhancing, not replacing, your existing muscle memory. It works by augmenting the familiar Cmd+Tab workflow. A quick tap of your shortcut instantly switches between recent apps, just like you're used to. A slightly longer hold, however, opens the full Macscope interface where you can manage all your open windows and tabs. You can also use modifier shortcuts to enter Placement Modes, which let you instantly snap a selected window to the left/right/top/bottom/ half of your screen. Here are some of the key features: - Unified Search & Switch: A single interface to instantly find and switch to any window, browser tab (Safari, Chrome, Arc, etc.), or application just by typing. - Live Previews: See a real-time preview of what's inside each window so you know exactly where you're going. You can also disable previews for a more minimal experience. - Advanced Window Management: Go beyond just switching. Select multiple windows and arrange them into layouts like vertical/horizontal splits or grids. - Scopes: Save collections of app windows as a "Scope" and instantly restore that entire workspace later. It's ideal for quickly switching between different projects or tasks. It’s a native macOS app built with Swift and supports both Apple Silicon and Intel machines. Launch Offer for HN: There's a free trial with 250 actions. For the Hacker News community, I'm offering a 50% discount on the lifetime license.
