AltTab Pro 11.3.0 Windows-Style Window Switching for Mac
AltTab is one of the most popular free utilities on Mac, and version 11.3.0, released on June 4–5, 2026, is a targeted compatibility update that fixes a specific but widely reported issue with Adobe apps. Developed by Louis Pontoise as an open-source project, it has grown into an essential tool for anyone who switches between many windows throughout the day.
What is AltTab?
macOS’s built-in Cmd+Tab switches between apps, not individual windows. AltTab fixes this by bringing Windows-style Alt+Tab window switching to Mac. Press Option+Tab and you see live thumbnails of every open window across all your apps not just one thumbnail per app, but one per window. Hold Option and keep pressing Tab to cycle through them, then release to focus the one you want. It is especially useful for ex-Windows users, multi-monitor setups, video editors, developers, and researchers who keep many windows open at once.
Pro Features
The core app is completely free and open source. AltTab Pro adds four upgrades on top: three appearance modes live thumbnails, a dock-like icon view, or a compact text-only list; Instant Search so you can type any window title or app name to jump to it immediately; Auto-Sizing thumbnails that scale based on how many windows are open; and up to nine independent keyboard shortcuts, each with custom keys and specific window filters.
What’s New in 11.3.0
This release ships one targeted fix better support for Adobe apps. Users reported that After Effects and Premiere Pro were appearing as icon-only entries without thumbnails and breaking round-trip window switching. Version 11.3.0 restores proper window recognition for those workflows. The broader 11.1 changes from May 2026 improved support for non-Latin keyboard layouts and better handling of Electron app hidden windows remain in the 11.x line.

AltTab is free and open source, available from alt-tab-macos.netlify.app and GitHub. AltTab Pro is $9.99 as a one-time purchase. Contributors and donors receive a lifetime Pro license. It requires macOS 10.13 or later and runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
