I'm already using [Contexts](https://contexts.co/) for this purpose, and I don't think I need anything else.

Raycast, a drop in replacement for spotlight with support for plugins, also has support for searching windows by title. I rarely even use command tab anymore.

There's also a ChatGPT plugin which enables you to easily send queries from your launcher. It's the most convenient way to use the tool in my experience.

Interesting. I use a combination of free and open source apps instead of these.

Window management - Rectangle

Alt-Tab improvements: AltTab app

Searching - Alfred

Between these three, is there anything that Contexts or Witch can do that is worth paying for?

[devbent]

Contexts is amazing, being able to search window titles is how I do almost all my navigation between apps now days, especially when I have code editors open to multiple (4+) different projects.

I have an equivalent installed on Windows (I forget its name) and it is likewise just as amazingly useful.

I would really appreciate if you could remember the name, because I love using Contexts.

Contexts is excellent. There's a free trial. Keyboard FTW!

I configure it to be a minimal cmd-tab switcher that shows all windows for each app. I disable the sidebar and other unnecessary stuff.

That looks interesting, but does it work in Ventura? They only list Big Sur and Monterey on the website...

[josegonzalez]

Works for me on Ventura.

I also use Contexts, and prefer it over AltTab and others…

I used AltTab first, then switched to Contexts because AltTab imposed a serious performance penalty on my older Intel Mac. Did you also experience that?

[DavideNL]

No, i'm using an M1.

But indeed, i did notice AltTab is sluggish...

[TMWNN]

After moving from AltTab to Contexts, I also switched to Apple Silicon. While satisfied with Contexts, I wondered whether Apple Silicon would have obviated the performance difference. Thanks for answering that question.

Most underrated app!
