Dory - App Switcher for macOS
A faster, prettier way to jump between your apps.
Why Dory is the Best App Switcher for macOS
Dory was built for Mac users who juggle dozens of windows and hate the delay of Command-Tab. Unlike traditional app switchers, Dory lets you jump instantly using a middle-click or by pressing the right Command key and the first letter of the app you want to switch to. It learns your usage patterns and prioritizes the apps you actually use, making switching feel effortless. No setup, no memorization, no clutter - just a faster, more intuitive way to stay focused.
How Dory Improves Your Mac Workflow
Traditional app switching on macOS requires you to cycle through every open application with Command-Tab until you find the one you need. With Dory, you simply hold your middle mouse button or right Command key and type a single letter. Need Chrome? Type "C". Want Slack? Type "S". Dory instantly filters to matching apps and switches in milliseconds.
Dory also supports smart search - find apps by their first letter, middle letters, acronyms, or even similar-sounding names. The more you use Dory, the smarter it gets. It tracks which apps you switch to most frequently and surfaces them first, so your muscle memory builds naturally over time.
