GroupTab

Grouped App Switcher for macOS

Website beshr.com
Overview

What it is

GroupTab enhances app switching on macOS. Arrange running apps into labeled, row‑based groups, cycle through each group as usual, or hop between groups to keep context and cut clutter.

Intent

I need it when

Maintain keyboard-driven workflow without leaving the keyboard

GroupTab provides vim-key navigation (H/J/K/L), number-based quick switching (Option+1-9), and arrow key controls, enabling developers and designers to stay in keyboard mode without reaching for the mouse

Organize applications by work role or project without system-level changes

GroupTab runs as a lightweight menu bar app that lets users create and reorder custom groups via drag-and-drop in Settings, with assignments stored locally and persisting across sessions without requiring system configuration

Speed up context switching between project-specific app sets

GroupTab groups related applications together and remembers assignments persistently, allowing power users to jump between IDE, terminal, and browser in one group versus Slack and email in another using Option-Tab and arrow keys

Reduce cognitive load when switching between many running applications

GroupTab organizes running macOS apps into labeled groups (Code, Comms, Design) so users navigate by context rather than scrolling through a crowded carousel of 20+ icons, making app switching faster and more intuitive

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User works primarily on Windows or Linux systems, as GroupTab is macOS-only
  • User prefers graphical mouse-driven interfaces and avoids keyboard shortcuts
  • User manages fewer than 5 concurrent applications and finds native Cmd-Tab sufficient
  • User requires custom keyboard shortcut configuration, as Option-Tab is fixed
  • User needs cross-platform app organization that syncs across multiple devices
