GroupTab is an alternative app switcher for macOS. You can arrange running apps into row based groups, cycle through apps in a group like usual, or hop between groups to keep context and cut clutter. It uses Option+Tab as the main hot key to bring up the switcher and arrow-keys or hjkl (while holding option) to cycle apps or groups (regular tab also works for cycling apps in a row). It’s meant for keyboard heavy users who juggle many running apps and also think that the default switcher can turn into a crowded carousel.

It keeps the native feel: MRU ordering for apps and groups, and Shift+Tab to reverse. Setup is simple, drag apps between groups and assignments stick or ([while holding option] shift + up-down arrows / k-j) to move between apps between groups). There's a default group for unassigned apps.

I’d love feedback on:

- Does grouping improve your flow vs Cmd-Tab?

- Rough edges, bugs?

- Performance and general UX feel
