Tab apps for Mac
The best tab switchers for Mac, compared by browser
The quick answer
Tab switchers for Mac differ mainly in the browsers they read. TabTab reads Arc and code editors too, and SupaSidebar lists tabs from 20+ browsers, though not Arc. Better Window Switcher shows Safari, Chrome and Firefox tabs as cards next to your windows. A free Raycast extension and an Alfred Powerpack workflow search Safari and Chrome tabs, but not Firefox.

The short version
- TabTab reads tabs in code editors and Figma too, and its search matches URLs.
- SupaSidebar lists tabs from 20+ browsers in a sidebar. It does not switch windows.
- Better Window Switcher shows windows and tabs together. It reads Firefox, but not Arc.
- If you use one browser, its own free tab search is enough.

Four of the nine read Firefox tabs on a Mac: TabTab, SupaSidebar, Better Window Switcher and Tab Switcher. Tab Space adds Firefox on its Pro subscription.
- Raycast's Browser Tabs extension reads Firefox on Windows only.
- Tab Finder 2's maker says it "currently does not support Firefox."
- The Alfred workflow and Witch leave Firefox off their lists.
Pick by browser first, then by extras.
- Arc, or tabs from VS Code and Figma as well: TabTab, which also searches URLs.
- Bookmarks and history in the same search: SupaSidebar.
- Windows and tabs in one view, Firefox included: Better Window Switcher.
- Already a Raycast or Alfred user: add its Browser Tabs extension or workflow.
- An Intel Mac or an older macOS: Witch, which runs on macOS 10.13 or newer.
- Only Safari: read how to search Safari tabs in every window first.
It is enough when you use one browser, since each browser's search covers only its own tabs.
| Item | How to open it | More detail |

Raycast Browser Tabs extension
FreeBest for People who already use Raycast

Questions people ask
What is the best tab switcher for Mac?
It depends on your browsers. TabTab reads tabs in browsers and apps like VS Code, and its search matches URLs. SupaSidebar lists tabs from 20+ browsers in a sidebar, with bookmarks in the same search. Better Window Switcher shows windows and tabs together and reads Firefox, but not Arc.
Is there a free tab switcher for Mac?
Yes. Raycast's Browser Tabs extension is free, and Tab Switcher on the App Store is free with a paid Pro upgrade. TabTab's free tier tracks five recent items, and SupaSidebar's covers three spaces. If all your tabs are in one browser, its own tab search costs nothing and is enough.
Can I search tabs across browsers on a Mac?
Yes, with an app. Each browser's own search only looks inside that browser. TabTab, SupaSidebar, Better Window Switcher and Tab Switcher search Safari, Chrome and Firefox tabs from one place. The Raycast extension and the Alfred workflow cover Safari and Chromium browsers, and neither lists Firefox on macOS.
Which tab switchers work with Firefox on a Mac?
TabTab, SupaSidebar, Better Window Switcher and Tab Switcher read Firefox tabs, and so does Tab Space on its Pro subscription. Raycast's extension supports Firefox on Windows only, and Tab Finder 2, Witch and the Alfred workflow leave it out. Firefox's own search is free: type % in the address bar.
What is a good TabTab alternative?
Pick SupaSidebar for a sidebar that searches tabs, bookmarks and history, or Better Window Switcher for windows and tabs as cards in one 3D view. Neither reads Arc tabs or tabs in VS Code and Figma, and neither matches TabTab's URL search. On an Intel Mac, try Witch.
Does Better Window Switcher work with Arc?
No. Arc keeps its tabs in a sidebar, not a normal tab bar, and reading them would mean guessing, so Better Window Switcher leaves Arc out. It reads Safari, Chrome and Firefox tabs, plus Brave, Edge, Vivaldi and Opera. TabTab, the Raycast extension and the Alfred workflow all list Arc. SupaSidebar saves Arc links but does not list its tabs.
