Tesserac replaces the flat Cmd+Tab strip with immersive spatial layouts designed for speed, focus, and muscle memory on macOS. Hold a key, glance at your apps, and release to switch. Choose between Spatial Ring, Grid, List, and Glass Orb layouts. Pin favourite apps, ignore clutter, and switch instantly using keyboard shortcuts or modifier keys. Built for keyboard-driven workflows. Native on Apple Silicon. Private by design. No subscription. 7-day free trial. One-time purchase.
Tesserac started by reimagining how flat and mechanical app switching still feels on macOS.
Cmd+Tab works, but once you use dozens of apps every day, scanning a linear strip starts to feel slow and disconnected from how your brain actually remembers things.
Tesserac replaces that with spatial layouts designed around visual memory and keyboard-driven flow. Hold a key, glance at your apps, and release to switch.
You can choose between Spatial layout, Grid, and List views depending on how you work. Favourite apps can stay permanently visible, clutter can be ignored completely, and everything runs natively on macOS with zero tracking or analytics.
Built for people who live on the keyboard and switch contexts constantly throughout the day.
Would genuinely love to know: Do you still use the default Cmd+Tab switcher, or have you replaced it with something else already?

Hi everyone,
Tesserac started by reimagining how flat and mechanical app switching still feels on macOS.
Cmd+Tab works, but once you use dozens of apps every day, scanning a linear strip starts to feel slow and disconnected from how your brain actually remembers things.
Tesserac replaces that with spatial layouts designed around visual memory and keyboard-driven flow. Hold a key, glance at your apps, and release to switch.
You can choose between Spatial layout, Grid, and List views depending on how you work. Favourite apps can stay permanently visible, clutter can be ignored completely, and everything runs natively on macOS with zero tracking or analytics.
Built for people who live on the keyboard and switch contexts constantly throughout the day.
