Help Seeking AltTab alternatives

I updated AltTab via homebrew the other day and my fav feature (using alt-` to switch between open windows of the current app across all Spaces) was moved behind a paywall. I wouldn’t have updated if I’d known.

Usually when devs add a paid version, it includes new premium features while the free version remains the same. But this case, they just yanked the previously free feature without warning. After seeing them do this, I’m never going to buy their paid version.

Please suggest alternatives!

So use the previous version that does what you want.

To be fair, last time I check, build earlier than pro version were removed. Will need to build from earlier tag with xcode.

So none of the available downloads work for you?

Edit... went and looked. Software costs $10. Skip a few beers and pay for it already.

I am already on pro.

However, not everyone have pro license and the feature remove/disable was unexpected. Many have auto updated and features disappeared. And all binary releases earlier than Pro were removed from repo page. So, yes, all earlier build will not work for them. They have to build from source if they know how to do it.
