SwitchGlass
SwitchGlass adds a customizable floating switcher for running Mac applications on each display.
Choose it when you prefer a dedicated mouse-based app switcher.
Per-display placement, icon sizing and configurable click actions provide control beyond a single shared layout.
Keep in mind: It shows running applications, not a launcher full of unopened apps. macOS window-activation limits can affect some apps, and quitting requires the optional QuitchGlass helper.

- It shows running applications, not a launcher full of unopened apps. macOS window-activation limits can affect some apps, and quitting requires the optional QuitchGlass helper.
Privacy & permissions
The switcher observes running apps and window placement; on newer macOS the optional desktop-picture preview may require screen-recording permission, which should be granted deliberately.
