Every window, not every app
One tile per window, most recently used first. Two Chrome windows? Two tiles.
Every window,
one glance away.
A tiny, fast, Windows-style window switcher for macOS. Press ⌘⇥ to see every window, with live thumbnails, not just every app.
Built to stay out of your way.
Instant tap
A quick ⌘⇥ jumps straight to your previous window without drawing anything.
Live thumbnails
Captured with ScreenCaptureKit and cached, so the panel opens with the last frame and updates in place.
Every Space, every display
Windows on all Spaces, including full screen apps. Pick one and Glance takes you there.
Drag to switch
Dragging a file? Press ⌘⇥, hover a window to bring it forward, then drop into it.
Zero idle cost
No timers, no polling. The window list builds in about 5 ms, and a hung app can't freeze it.
Feels like home.

Prefer to keep the macOS switcher? Use ⌥⇥ instead.
Private by design.
Glance never reads what you type. It needs Accessibility to handle ⌘⇥ and Screen Recording for thumbnails, and the only request it makes is a daily check for a new release on GitHub. It never downloads or installs anything by itself.
