Stop hunting forthat Chrome window, Xcode’s Archive window, or that Finder window

You know the window is open. It is behind six others, on another Space, or minimised into a Dock you stopped looking at months ago.

Questions

Why does it need Accessibility permission?

To raise another app’s window, move to a full-screen Space, post keystrokes, and fill password fields. Without it the ring still opens but cannot act.

Is it on the Mac App Store?

The download here is the direct build, signed and notarised by Apple — the complete app. A Mac App Store build must run in the App Sandbox, which cannot read or raise another app’s windows, move Spaces, or post keystrokes. Window switching, per-app shortcuts and password fill therefore only work in the direct build; a sandboxed edition could still launch apps and open saved links.

Where are my passwords stored?

In the macOS Keychain, readable only while your Mac is unlocked. Choosing one fills the focused text field when possible; otherwise it copies to the clipboard and clears after 45 seconds.

Does it work with multiple displays and Spaces?

Yes. The ring opens on the display your pointer is on (and can follow as you move). Picking a full-screen window switches to its Space.

Can I change language or appearance?

Yes. Settings offers System, Light, or Dark appearance, and 17 languages (or Match the system language). Defaults are System for both.

What are the default shortcuts?

App Switcher is ⇧⌘A, Shortcut Launcher is ⇧⌘S, Saved Passwords is ⇧⌘P. Launcher sets get their own bindings. Everything is rebindable — clear a binding to turn that mode off.
