Everything below is a screen recording of Flick, played on a loop.
Hold ⌥ and tap Tab: Flick opens with your windows in order, most recent first, and your previous window already selected. Each tap of Tab moves down, or press ⌥3 to switch straight to the third row. Let go and you're there. A quick tap jumps straight back to the last window.
Keep holding ⌥ and type a few letters of an app, a window title or the document it shows. The best match comes first, so “vsc” finds Visual Studio Code. Let go and you're there. Apps that aren't open yet show up too, and open the same way. Press Return first if you'd rather keep the list open while you type.
Collapse each app into one row with a count. Press → to open its windows, ← to go back.
Windows on other desktops and full-screen apps are in the same list. Pick one and Flick takes you to its Space. Want just one app's windows? With ⌘Tab, ⌘` cycles the front app's windows on every Desktop.
Pick your side
Flick grows out of the left or right edge of your screen, or floats in the middle. On macOS 26 it's made of Liquid Glass, so your wallpaper shows through.
Left. Welded to the edge, like a tab you pull out.
One small app with sensible defaults. Change any of it in Settings.
Window titles, document names and browser tabs are read only to draw and search the list, and are never saved or sent anywhere. Flick goes online only to check for updates, if you allow it, and to check your license with Dodo Payments, once you have one.
Nothing to sign up for, nothing tracking you. Flick asks for Accessibility, the permission macOS requires for switching windows, plus Automation only for the browsers you turn on for browser tabs. Read the privacy policy
One license, every feature. No subscription and no account.

The free version switches between your 5 most recent windows and never expires. A license unlocks every window and browser tabs.
Accessibility is how macOS lets an app read other apps' window titles and control their windows. Flick uses it to read titles for the list and to bring forward, close or minimize the window you pick. Nothing it reads is recorded or sent anywhere.
Yes. Choose Command ⌘ + Tab in Settings › Shortcuts (or during setup) and Flick takes over ⌘Tab while it runs, and ⌘` switches between the front app's windows on every Desktop. Quit Flick and the macOS switcher comes straight back. Flick uses ⌥Tab by default, so nothing changes unless you want it to.
Yes, with a license. Turn on Safari, Chrome, Chrome Beta, Brave or Edge in Settings › Browser Tabs, and macOS asks once whether Flick may control that browser. Search then finds tabs by title or address. Their titles and addresses stay on your Mac and are never saved. Private and incognito windows are left out unless you turn on Include private windows, and Safari's tabs are listed only with that on, because Safari doesn't say which of its windows are private.
Any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel. On macOS 26 the panel is made of Liquid Glass.
Yes, including full-screen apps. Pick one and Flick switches to its Space. To list only the current Space, turn on Show only the active Space in Settings › General.
Yes, and it never expires. The free version switches between your 5 most recent windows and has every feature except browser tabs. A one-time license unlocks every window and browser tabs.
No. You pay once and keep it, with every 1.x update included.
Every window you have open, one keystroke away.
