Witch 3.5 — Window switching with style

Switching between multiple windows in multiple applications in Mac OS X isn't as easy as it should be.

Instead of using Command-Tab and then window switching, try Witch to switch directly to your desired window. Activate Witch, select your desired window from the pop-up menu, and press Return.

Witch 3.5 switches across Spaces (in Mac OS X 10.6), and provides optional window previews prior to switching.

Baubleries — What the heck is a baublery?

A baublery is a small program that does something useful. Because our baubleries are small one-trick ponies, we distribute them for free. Note that many were written for specific versions of Mac OS X, and may not work (or be needed) on newer releases. Each baublery page clearly calls out any such issues.

Our current collection of baubleries let you hide your desktop, round your screen corners, display key codes, tint the menu bar, manage the Open With menu, block unwanted Safari window changes, and manage the pre-10.6 Services menu.

Because these programs are provided free of charge, our ability to support them is limited. You can report bugs using our bug tracker, but there's no assurance we'll be able to address them.
