Loopset — Keyboard-First App Switcher for Mac

Switch apps, arrange windows, and navigate your desktop with fluid keyboard shortcuts. Loopset replaces the decades-old Command-Tab with something built for power users.

What it does

Loopset is a native macOS app switcher that gives you precise control over your workspace. Instead of cycling through apps linearly, Loopset introduces Work Loops — curated, fixed-order groups of apps for specific tasks like development, writing, or design. Every window and app is exactly where you expect it.

Key features

• Work Loops: group apps by task with fixed-order switching
• Fluid keyboard-driven navigation — no mouse needed
• Window arrangement and snapping
• Visual overlay showing all open apps and windows
• Native SwiftUI performance, instant launch
• Zero telemetry, zero cloud dependency

Common workflows

• Developers: Switch between IDE, terminal, browser, and API client in a fixed, predictable order
• Designers: Keep Figma, reference browser, and communication tools in a tight loop
• Writers: Group editor, research browser, and notes in one Work Loop
• Power users: Replace mouse-driven window management entirely

Privacy and local-first design

Loopset works entirely offline. It reads your open windows locally and never sends data anywhere. No account needed.
