aka command+tab but for Safari
- Switching tab history navigation with Option+Tab (or set your own shortcut);
- Tab search;
- Did not find the tab you were looking for? Since 22nd of April 2025 you can search for the tab from the list of all cosed tabs (not on the App Store by this date yet, needs thorough testing);
- Customizable shortcut;
- Dark mode, light mode;
- Does not ask for permission to read "webpage content". Permission to access "browsing history" is only used to display tab titles;
- Written entirely in Swift. Not a single line of JS;
- Works even when tabs are loading and on empty and history pages;
- Open source. Which means 100% transparency;
- Gorgeous design;
- Almost native experience;
Switching between apps with command+tab is my favorite way of navigating between apps. One day i realized that it would tremendously simplify web navigation if such a way would exist in Safari.
There are similar apps, but i decided to make my own, which unlike of other similar extensions would
- Be open-source;
- Be written entirely in Swift;
- Be easy to set up and use;
- Have convenient search;
- Have a beautiful design.
Currently the app was purchased by 10 users. I'm happily working on new updates for them.
