Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know about Scopo before you try it.
- What is Scopo?
- Scopo is a project-aware window switcher for macOS. It replaces Cmd+Tab with a switcher scoped to your current Space, so you only see the windows for the project you are working on right now.
- How is Scopo different from the built-in macOS Cmd+Tab?
- The native Cmd+Tab is app-centric: it shows every running app across every Space and cannot switch to a specific window. Scopo is window-aware and project-aware. It scopes the switcher to your current Space and lets you jump to individual windows, so the list stays short and relevant.
- Does Scopo work with multiple monitors?
- Yes. Scopo treats your current screen and Space as the project boundary, so the switcher stays tied to the display and Space you are working on, even across two or three monitors.
- Does Scopo replace Mission Control or Stage Manager?
- No, it works alongside them. Mission Control and Stage Manager are about arranging windows on screen. Scopo is about switching between the windows and projects you already organized with Spaces, from the keyboard, without a full-screen takeover.
- Does Scopo support window tiling or snapping?
- Not yet. Tiling and snapping are on the roadmap. Today Scopo focuses on switching and navigation scoped to your current project rather than arranging window sizes.
- Which versions of macOS does Scopo support?
- Scopo requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later.
- What permissions does Scopo need?
- Scopo needs Accessibility permission to focus and move windows, and Screen Recording permission to show live window previews. You grant these once in System Settings the first time you run the app.
- Is my data private?
- Yes. Scopo never saves window thumbnails, screenshots, or window titles to disk. Captured screen content stays in memory only and is discarded when the app quits. Nothing about your windows is sent anywhere.
- Is there a free trial?
- Yes. Scopo is free for 30 days with all features included and no credit card required. If you subscribe afterward, there is also a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- How much does Scopo cost?
- Scopo is a subscription that starts at $1.25 per month billed annually, or $1.99 per month. Every plan includes all features.
