About AppSwitcher

AppSwitcher is a Windows desktop application that lets you jump to any running window using a dedicated hotkey — no more Alt-Tabbing through a stack of windows.
Inspired by rcmd for macOS, AppSwitcher lets you assign a global hotkey to any application so you can reach it in one keystroke.
Features
- Assign global hotkeys to switch directly to any running window - Runs silently in the system tray - Optional autostart with Windows - Supports Windows 10 version 20H1 (build 19041) or newer
