Contexts overview

Contexts is a radically faster and simpler window switcher. It gives you 4 ways to switch windows:

  • Switch with one click to any window: An auto-hiding sidebar shows your windows organized in groups. To switch to a window just click its title in the list. It is as simple as that.
  • Switch with one keystroke to 9 windows and with two keystrokes to any window: This is super fast. Each window gets a window number based on its position in the list. To switch to a window just press Option+window-number. It you are a keyboard person you will love it.
  • Cycle through recently used windows: Command+Tab switcher fails if your applications have multiple windows. With Option+Tab Contexts lets you cycle through individual windows and switch to any of them directly.
  • Switch with search to any window: Invoke panel with keyboard shortcut and type a few characters from the application name or window title to filter the list using fuzzy matching. Press enter to bring selected window forward.

Current version is 3.8.1 and the developer’s site is up. Works well under 12.5 (Monterey).

I really like this app. Unfortunately, my trial period has elapsed, and the developer's website is 404. There's no way to actually pay for a subscription, as far as I can tell. At the moment I'm surviving with the nagware reminder every X clicks, but it won't be long before I give up and look for a replacement.
