Switch in your own order
Cycle through apps with Left and Right. Drag icons to arrange them, and keep that order the next time you launch.
A SMALL UTILITY FOR macOS
Askel: switch apps.
Arrange windows.
Askel is a macOS app switcher and window management utility that lives in your menu bar. Hold one modifier combination and use the arrow keys to switch apps, bring windows over, or go full screen.

LESS REACHING. MORE DOING.
One combination. Four directions.

Hold the modifiers to show the minimap; release to hide it. With multiple displays, hold Left or Right for 0.6 seconds to bring the selected app’s movable windows to the minimap’s display.
MADE FOR YOUR WORKFLOW
Keep everyday actions close.
Bring your windows over
The minimap appears on the display under your pointer. Hold an arrow to bring the selected app’s movable windows to that display.
Full screen, within reach
Up enters native macOS full screen. Down exits. For apps with several windows, only the focused window is affected.
Choose a comfortable shortcut
Record your preferred modifier combination. The four arrow keys stay fixed, so everyday actions share one set of shortcuts.
QUIET BY DESIGN
There when you need it.
No permanent Dock window. A frosted minimap follows your system appearance or uses your choice of Light or Dark. Paging arrows make long app lists easy to browse, even without a horizontal mouse wheel.
Your preferences stay on your Mac.
App order, theme, and shortcuts are stored locally. Window control uses macOS permissions. The current app has no built-in advertising or third-party analytics SDKs.
