Everything to feel at home on macOS
No relearning, no muscle-memory rewiring. Just use your Mac the way you already know how.
Clipboard Shortcuts
FreeCtrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V — copy, cut, and paste work exactly like Windows. No more Cmd confusion.
Editing Shortcuts
ProCtrl+Z undo is free. Pro adds Ctrl+Y redo, Ctrl+A select all, Ctrl+S save, Ctrl+F find, Ctrl+H find & replace, Ctrl+T/Shift+T tabs, Ctrl+P print, Ctrl+O open, Ctrl+L address bar, Ctrl+` clipboard search, and more.
Alt+Tab App Switching
ProHold Alt, tap Tab to cycle through apps. Release Alt to switch. Full state machine, just like Windows.
Navigation Keys
ProHome/End go to line start/end. Ctrl+Arrow moves by word. Ctrl+Home/End jumps to document start/end. All selection variants (Shift+Home, Ctrl+Shift+Arrow, Ctrl+Shift+Home/End) included.
Reverse Scroll
ProScroll down to go down, like Windows. Reverses macOS "natural scrolling" with one toggle.
Per-Window Menu Bar
ProFile, Edit, View menus at the top of each window — not stuck at the top of the screen. Windows-style close/min/max buttons too.
Taskbar Window Preview
ProHover over any Dock icon to see live thumbnails of every open window — just like the Windows 11 taskbar. Click to switch, X to close, hover to peek.
The Windows taskbar — on your Mac
macOS shows you an app name when you hover over the Dock. Windows shows you every open window with live screenshots. Now your Mac does too.
Hover over any Dock icon to see live thumbnails of every window
Desktop Peek — hover a thumbnail to see exactly where the window sits
Live window screenshots
Every open window gets a real-time thumbnail preview. See exactly what's in each window before switching — no guessing from titles alone.
Desktop Peek
Hover over a thumbnail for 300ms and all other windows fade away, showing you exactly where that window sits on your desktop. Move between thumbnails to peek at different windows instantly.
Click to switch
Click any thumbnail to bring that window to the front. Works across all apps — Safari tabs, Finder windows, Terminal sessions, anything with an open window.
Close from the Dock
Hover over a thumbnail to reveal the close button. Click X to close that window without switching to the app first — just like Windows 11.

Text editing that actually works
The #1 frustration for Windows switchers: text navigation is completely different on Mac. WinMode fixes all of it.
"I just want to press Home to go to the start of the line. Why is that so hard on Mac?"
Sound familiar? You're not alone. These shortcuts are muscle memory after years on Windows.
