Turn Alt+Space into a searchable window switcher.
Switcher opens a compact palette over your current work. Type the app or exact window title you remember, press Enter, and the palette disappears as the selected window becomes active.
The shortcut is only the entrance.
The value is the complete action chain: shortcut, short query, Enter, destination. Switcher is designed to leave as soon as the selected window is active.
That makes it useful for keyboard-heavy work where reaching for the taskbar would interrupt the action already in progress.
Search the title you actually remember.
A process name such as Calculator can identify an app. A distinctive title fragment can separate two windows owned by the same application.
Switcher ranks fuzzy matches but still shows the candidate list before activation. The user chooses the destination rather than handing control to an opaque automatic rule.
Know the boundary.
Switcher does not launch closed applications in this release, and Windows integrity rules can limit whether a standard process can foreground an elevated window.
The current build is deliberately narrow: find an eligible open window, restore it if needed, activate it, and get out of the way.
FAQ
Practical questions.
Answers based on the current early-access build and standard Windows 11 behavior.
Does Alt+Space normally do something in Windows?
Yes. Windows commonly uses Alt+Space for the active window system menu. Switcher registers it as the default global shortcut while running, and you can choose another shortcut in Settings.
Does Switcher need an account?
No. The current early-access build does not require an account.
Is window-title data uploaded?
Core switching is local. Switcher reads open-window titles and process identities on the device so it can search and activate them.
Jump to the exact open window.
Switcher is free during early access and runs its core window search locally.
