Saltabo
A better ⌘Tab for macOS, with live window previews
Saltabo replaces ⌘Tab with a switcher that shows every window, not just apps. See live previews, hover over the Dock to peek at an app's windows, type to find any window, and close or minimize without leaving the switcher.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I built Saltabo because macOS ⌘Tab switches apps, not windows. With five VS Code windows and three Chrome profiles open, I kept landing in the wrong place.
Saltabo shows every window with a live preview, so you pick the exact one you want.
What it does:
🪟 Window switcher – every window with a live thumbnail (or app icons, or a compact list)
🧲 Dock previews – hover an app in the Dock to see and switch to its windows
🔎 Search – press / in the switcher and type an app or window name
✖️ Window actions – close or minimize windows right from the switcher
🙈 Excluded apps – keep the apps you choose out of the switcher
🎨 Light, dark and system themes, in 10 languages
Privacy: thumbnails are captured and kept on your Mac. Saltabo needs Accessibility (to list and raise windows) and Screen Recording (for thumbnails), nothing else.
Pricing:
• The switcher is free, forever
• Every install starts with a 14-day trial of all Pro features
• Pro is $4/year (regular $9)
Install:
Download from saltabo.app (macOS 13+, Apple Silicon & Intel)
I'd love your feedback: what's the one thing that would make you replace ⌘Tab for good?
