DashPane is a lightning-fast window switcher for macOS. Stop cycling through apps with Command-Tab. Just press a shortcut, type a few letters, and instantly jump to any window. Fuzzy search, gesture sidebar, multi-display support
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Jayesh, the maker of DashPane.
I built this because Command-Tab has frustrated me for years. When you have 10+ apps open, cycling through them wastes so much time.
With DashPane, I press Control+Space, type "sl" and I'm in Slack instantly. Type "te" and I'm in Terminal. It's become muscle memory.
Key things that make it different:
- Fuzzy search (type "chr" to find Chrome)
- Shows individual windows, not just apps
- Beautiful native macOS design
- $4.99 one-time, no subscriptions

Hi! Congrats on your launch!
I’m curious about how you see this fitting alongside tools like Raycast, which already offer window switching as part of a broader (and free) workflow. For users like me who are already pretty embedded in Raycast, it’d be interesting to understand what would make DashPane a compelling switch or addition.
@enhancedjax Thanks! Fair question. Raycast is excellent and if it's already working for you, honestly stick with it.
The difference is focus. Raycast does a hundred things, DashPane does gets one thing right (at the moment): get you to the right window as fast as possible. No launcher, no extensions, no setup. Just hover the edge or hit your shortcut and you're there.
Some people find that a dedicated tool with zero cognitive overhead fits better alongside Raycast than replacing it. Others prefer keeping everything in one place. Both are valid.
If you're curious, try it for a week. If it doesn't change how you switch windows, a refund if you don't enjoy it.
Idea is quite new but does this affects the performance? since it will be running all the time biting in to RAM? if not then its a great product.
@nayan_surya98 Great question, performance was a core priority. DashPane is built in pure SwiftUI and stays extremely lightweight. CPU usage is ~zero when idle, and RAM footprint is minimal. It's designed to sit quietly in the background and only wake up when you need it.
And yes, I'm continuously optimizing it — every update will make it leaner. As a solo dev, I care about this stuff personally. I run it on my own machine all day.
