01 / Problem

Past five windows, every built-in macOS method gets slow

⌘`
You cycle through them one by one

You never know how far away the window is. Overshoot it and you go around again.

Mission Control
Every thumbnail looks the same

Shrunken editor windows are indistinguishable, so you end up clicking through them.

Dock window list
Only the current file name shows

You can't tell which project it belongs to, and you need the mouse.

Code Spotlight finds windows by the one thing you actually remember: the project name.

02 / Features

Five things

Global shortcut

⌘⇧Space opens the search panel from any app. It works the same over your terminal, browser or Slack.

⌘ ⇧ Space
Smart ranking

Results rank exact > prefix > contains > fuzzy (typo-tolerant). Type admin-web-v2 and admin-web-legacy won't jump above it.

Everything at a glance

Each result shows the project, the file currently open and the editor's icon, so you know exactly which window it is.

Truly native

Calls the macOS Accessibility API directly. No helper processes are spawned to list windows, so the panel appears instantly.
