Charmstone1.44

Bring a chosen Mac app to the foreground with a single modifier-key combination, instead of reaching for the Dock or pressing Command-Tab. Charmstone works as an app launcher and switcher, giving you a quicker route to opening or focusing applications. Its design uses spatial memory, helping you recall an app by its position and put it in focus more quickly.

The interaction is intended to keep app switching fast while maintaining a minimal learning curve. It suits people who move among several applications and want an alternative to the Dock or the standard Command-Tab shortcut. It can also be used to launch an application directly when you want to move into a different task.

Charmstone 1.44 runs on macOS and supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. It is freeware, making it available under a free license rather than a paid tier or trial arrangement. As a System Tools utility, it concentrates on launching applications and changing which app is active.
