Loopset keeps app switching anchored to the screen you're using. Bring the switcher near your cursor, move through running apps with one shortcut, and use Work Loops to stay inside the task at hand.
The interaction
Loopset is simple enough to learn in ten seconds and fast enough to stop thinking about entirely.
Hold Option and tap Tab. Loopset brings the overlay onto the display you're using, with cursor-adjacent placement when you want it.
Step through running apps without hunting across monitors. The active item enlarges gently as you move.
Release Option. You're in the new app. The overlay vanishes. Zero residue.
The philosophy
Most switchers optimize for speed. Loopset optimizes for orientation — keeping the switcher where your attention already is.
On multi-monitor setups, the switcher stays with the display you're working on instead of pulling your eyes to another screen.
Work Loops filter the switcher to exactly the apps relevant to what you're doing right now. No noise from that one app you opened three days ago.
Cmd+Tab shows everything. Loopset shows what belongs to the task in front of you. The result is a switcher that understands intent, not just recency.
Work Loops
Loopset only works with running apps — no launcher, no clutter. Work Loops let you name which of those open apps belong together, so once the switcher is on the right screen, it only shows what's relevant to what you're doing.
FAQ
It keeps the Mac app switcher anchored to your active screen and cursor, and lets you filter running apps into Work Loops. (Pair it with Clipset to create the ultimate "Shifter" workflow for macOS).
No, it supplements it. By default, Loopset uses Option+Tab, meaning you can keep your default Mac switcher for global changes and use Loopset for focused work.
No. Loopset works beautifully as a multi-monitor aware app switcher even if you never use the Work Loops feature.
