Easy Window Switcher by NeoSmart Technologies cycles between windows of the same app with Alt+backtick. Free for personal use, $10 for commercial licensing.
Easy Window Switcher is a single-purpose Windows utility built by NeoSmart Technologies, a software company that has been building small system tools like EasyBCD and iReboot since 2004. The utility adds a keyboard shortcut, Alt+backtick, that cycles specifically between open windows of the same application rather than jumping across all open windows the way the built-in Alt+Tab does.
The idea is explicitly modeled on how window switching works on macOS, where users can cycle between windows of a single app without alt-tabbing through every other open program. NeoSmart built the tool to bring that same convenience to Windows.
The utility's main feature is the Alt+backtick shortcut itself, which lets users jump between multiple windows of the same application, useful for anyone running several browser windows, terminal sessions, or document editor instances at once. It runs continuously in the background as a lightweight system tray process.
NeoSmart emphasizes that the tool takes up less than 1 MB of disk space, starts automatically, and ships without adware, toolbars, or other bundled software, a notable claim in a category of Windows utilities historically plagued by bloatware.
Easy Window Switcher follows NeoSmart Technologies' broader licensing model: the tool is free for home and non-commercial use, meaning individuals can download and use it at no cost indefinitely.
Businesses or other for-profit organizations wanting to deploy it are expected to purchase a commercial license, listed at $10 through NeoSmart's store, with volume licensing available by contacting NeoSmart's sales team directly for larger deployments.
