Rest 3 or 4 fingers to summon the Switch Bar, glide left or right with physical Force Touch ticks across every open window, and lift to switch — the exact muscle memory of releasing ⌘.
Traditional gesture tools map a swipe to a single keyboard shortcut. SlideTab maps your fingers 1:1 to the Switch Bar selection with Force Touch detents and releases on lift.
Standard macOS Cmd+Tab hides multiple browser, code editor, or PDF windows behind a single icon. SlideTab surfaces every open window across apps, badges multi-window instances, and parks minimized (−) windows cleanly at the tail.
Choose Hold & Slide (configurable 120–320 ms dwell so quick macOS 3/4-finger swipes pass straight through), Instant Slide, or a dedicated 2-Finger Top Edge strip. Rest all 5 fingers anytime for 5-Finger Zen 🍵 passthrough.
Clean up window clutter mid-slide without ever switching focus. Tap W while hovering a tile to close that specific window, or Q to quit the application.
Zero background polling timers, zero Electron/WebViews, zero third-party packages. SlideTab sleeps completely between touches and wakes on hardware multitouch frames in under 0.2 ms.
Automatically steps aside during fullscreen games, remote desktops, and virtual machines — plus one-click per-app pause exclusions right from the macOS menu bar.
Click through SlideTab's live calibration controls below — modeled directly on our SwiftUI settings window.
SlideTab makes zero network requests during your 30-day trial and zero network requests after activation. One optional 8-byte seat exchange locks your license to up to 2 Macs using an irreversible SHA-256 hardware digest — and you can deactivate a seat anytime in one click when upgrading your Mac.
"Hi — I built SlideTab solo because I wanted window switching on a Mac to feel as natural as a trackpad gesture. There's no company, tracking, or subscription behind it, just one developer obsessing over every detail in native Swift. If SlideTab saves your hands hundreds of reaches a day, your license directly funds its future."
