Scopo vs Witch
Witch has been around for years and is great at one thing: cycling through every window, and even every browser tab, no matter where it lives. If you want a single keystroke to reach anything, Witch delivers.
Scopo trades that everywhere-access for focus. By scoping the switcher to your current Space, it keeps the list short and relevant, then lets you reach into other projects deliberately when you actually need to.
