And with accessibility, you can know where all the windows are.

You can make them appear and disappear, bring them to the front, bring them to the back.

You can do all sorts of stuff like that.

You can't do...

very easily the kind of things that like stage manager does but that's not what this does flash space and alt tab essentially like say okay so you're telling me i can make windows appear and disappear and i know where they all are i know what they will look like i know what apps they belong to fine i'm going to build on that um and it is very it is very straightforward it's like

You build up sets of app just like spaces, but instead of, you know, with actual spaces, you're like swiping from side to side.

And I don't know how it's implemented on the covers, but this is think of it this way.

It's like simulating spaces by just controlling what is visible at any given time on your one and only space as far as macOS is concerned.

And they do it without animations.

And so it seems really fast because, hey, hide these seven windows, show these four windows, right?

And having a floating thing of like, oh, okay, these windows are seen in all of the flash spaces, but this context is just these windows and this context is just these windows.

And it is very configurable and you could set up these little contexts.

And if that's the way you want to work and you're sick of waiting for spaces to switch around, this is the thing for you.

And alt tab, same deal.

If you want to be able to sort of

alt tab command tab anyway through uh they've infected you with all this windows talk i know that's what they called their app if you want if you want to do windows style alt tabbing instead of the mac style uh where you have like where it's a hierarchy where you do command tab through apps and then command like tilde to do the windows within the app this will bring you through all your windows and it'll show you thumbnails so you can identify them and like that's the way you want to work you should check out these apps um

They're pretty well implemented.

This is not the way I work with Windows at all, but I'm glad these apps exist for people who want them.

And if you didn't know they exist, now you do.

Check them out.
