A macOS utility that automatically raises and focuses a window when the mouse hovers over it, with a configurable delay. It also offers an optional mouse-warp feature when switching apps via cmd-tab or cmd-grave.

Use cases

  • focus follows mouse on macOS
  • auto raise windows on hover
  • warp mouse to center of activated window with cmd-tab
  • enable x11-style focus behavior on a Mac
  • reduce clicking needed to switch windows

When to choose

  • you want focus-follows-mouse behavior on macOS
  • you prefer keyboard task switching with mouse warping
  • you want a lightweight menu bar utility

When to avoid

  • you are on Windows or Linux
  • you need per-app focus rules beyond the provided options
  • you rely on undocumented private APIs being stable (experimental focus-first mode)
