## What it is
A lightweight Windows utility that lets you switch between windows of the same application using Alt+` and optionally replace Alt+Tab app switching. It is a standalone Rust executable configurable via an INI file.

## Use cases
- switch between windows of the same app on windows
- replace alt+tab with a better app switcher
- cycle through windows with a custom hotkey
- limit window switching to the current virtual desktop
- exclude fullscreen games from hotkey switching

## When to choose
- you want macOS-style same-app window switching on Windows
- you prefer a tiny standalone exe with no installation
- you need configurable hotkeys and per-app blacklists

## When to avoid
- you are on macOS or Linux
- you need window tiling or snapping, not just switching

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, gui
- domain: developer-tools, windows, desktop-applications
- platform: windows
- tags: window-management, hotkeys, alt-tab, keyboard-shortcuts, rust, desktop
