Description

Streamline your app switching experience with next app prediction.


MOTIVATION

App switching is probably one of the most common tasks we do when using our computers. There are many ways to open an app, but many of them have their own drawbacks. Opening an app using the Dock can become harder if you have many apps in it. Command-Tab is very useful when you want to switch to the most recent or second most recent app, but it can become troublesome beyond that. Spotlight is a versatile search tool, but it does not take your app switching context into account.

On iOS, there is the 'Suggestions' box in the App Library, which displays four apps based on your usage patterns. It is often useful, but the experience could be even better on a computer. Here, screens are large and a keyboard is always accessible, and predictions can be much more accurate even with just one or two letters. So I've been working on this context-aware app switcher, Applight.


KEY FEATURES

• As soon as you press the modifier key of your choice, Applight displays apps that you might want to use in that context.
• The previous app is always the top result so that you can to to the previous app with a single key press.
• Type a letter or two, or press a number key, to quickly select the app you want to use.
• Open the selected app by just releasing your modifier key. No need to press enter.
• Do you want to switch between apps with your cursor? Suggestions have got you covered.
• Every person has a different way of using their computer. Applight tailors its prediction algorithm based on your usage patterns.
