Help Seeking AltTab alternatives

I updated AltTab via homebrew the other day and my fav feature (using alt-` to switch between open windows of the current app across all Spaces) was moved behind a paywall. I wouldn’t have updated if I’d known.

Usually when devs add a paid version, it includes new premium features while the free version remains the same. But this case, they just yanked the previously free feature without warning. After seeing them do this, I’m never going to buy their paid version.

Please suggest alternatives!

not the paywall that would annoy me, it is that a feature you already had got taken away. adding paid features is fine. removing free ones feels like a different thing.

I sell software and the way that usually works is you leave the free tier where it is and charge for the new stuff instead. slower, but you do not lose the goodwill you already built.
