Default shortcuts

• Option + Tab — Open Quick Switch.
• Esc — Close Quick Switch without switching windows.
• Enter — Activate the highlighted window.

Permissions

• Accessibility: used to inspect switchable windows, focus the selected window, and perform window activation.
• Screen Recording: used to generate local window thumbnails in Quick Switch. If denied, Aligner uses fallback thumbnails.

These permissions support local window management. Aligner does not upload window titles, thumbnails, or screen contents to developer servers.

FAQ

Why does Aligner need Accessibility?

Aligner needs to know which windows can be switched to and needs to activate the target window after you choose it.

Why does Aligner need Screen Recording?

Screen Recording is used to render local window thumbnails so you can recognize windows visually. Without it, Aligner can still show app identity and window titles as fallback information.

Does Aligner upload screenshots of my windows?

No. Window thumbnails are processed on your Mac for the current Quick Switch experience.
