GroupTab

September 24, 2025

The macOS app switcher (Cmd+Tab) is one of those things that's just there and works well enough most of the time. But once you’re juggling a dozen apps, cycling a single list gets slow, and it becomes tedious to keep flipping back and forth between apps just to keep their order as you'd like it to be. The idea of having groups of apps (as rows) in the switcher felt natural to me once I implemented a quick PoC while working on Sudecku a few months ago.

Now I'm happy to share that I've developed that PoC into a proper app, GroupTab is a minimal grouped app switcher for macOS, so you can organize apps into visual rows and jump between groups quickly. I think it’s great for anyone who keeps many apps running simultaneously.

The app is $1.99, but I'm making it free until September 26 so you can try it and see if it actually improves your workflow.

Get it on the Mac App Store. More screenshots and details on the website.

Would love to hear any feedback if you get a chance to try it.
