That's a great link, Alt-Tab is a fantastic utility! I've tried all the popular tools in this space, including Raycast's switcher, and they are all excellent at what they do.

My goal with Macscope was to address a slightly different problem. Most switchers answer the question "what app/window do I want to open?". I found my workflow often involved a second step: "...and now I need to use another tool to position it."

Macscope tries to be a combination of a switcher and an arranger, answering the question "open and where?" in a single action.

A feature I'm really happy with that illustrates this is the new "Placement Mode". You can use a dedicated hotkey (e.g., Ctrl+Opt+L) that tells Macscope "I'm about to switch to a window, and I want it to snap to the right half of the screen." When you select the window, it both switches and arranges in one fluid motion.

Here’s a quick video showing how it works in practice: https://screen.studio/share/pg4H5i4c

It's a different approach, but hopefully a useful one for certain workflows. Thanks for sharing the link for others' reference!


Thank you for sharing this! I've been using Witch Daemon for a while, but it does have the occasional glitches (esp. multi-screen setups). At first impression this is super-fast without lag, I'll keep testing it for a while.


This is amazing, I'm having so much fun. Would be great if we could create "merchant" accounts and keep a list of all our past creations


I think it's more worth than ever. The idea that some of my thoughts might be integrated into some AI model by being used as training data is exciting


Coqui is great, but another fantastic tool for TTS I recommend checking out is Piper. The voice quality is great, it's extremely lightweight, and it's fast enough to generate TTS in realtime https://github.com/rhasspy/piper


Can you suggest (1) How to get it working on a Mac, (2) alternatively, how to get it running in a Docker container (on a mac)?


Works with rhel9 docker image and compiled binary link


Thank you!


Piper seems very interesting, but unfortunately the last time i tried it on macOS it didn't seem to work (anymore).
