Show HN: I built a tool to solve window management

Hello, my name is Andrew. I'm an indie developer and I'm excited to release Smart Switcher for Windows 10/11. I'm looking for feedback on the overall project and the application itself.

I built this because I couldn't find a window switching/management solution that worked for me. I tried all kinds of different solutions, virtual desktop extensions, obscure GUI window managers, you name it. Overtime I realized I wanted something that prioritizes one window at a time, is keyboard driven with has minimal if no GUI elements. I figured this part out, but knew something was missing. I had my eureka moment when I realized I could combine my switching method with a prediction algorithm. This led to the creation of Smart Switcher.

Smart Switcher is a data driven window switcher aimed at improving the overall window switching experience. It logs data on your windows switching, then a prediction algorithm analyzes this data and uses it to predict which window you would want to switch to next. When you need to switch windows, you press the switch shortcut to switch to the next predicted window. If this isn't the window you wanted, press the override shortcut to switch to the next most likely window. You can press the override shortcut as many times as needed until you arrive at your desired window.

It’s a paid app with a demo and trial version. There is a introductory discount and some additional discount tiers for early adopters.

Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks!
