Instead of endlessly cycling through applications, Reef allows you to bind your most important apps to the number keys on your keyboard and jump directly to them and their windows, without ever taking your hand off the keyboard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">After spending some time exploring Reef, I found myself asking a question I\u2019ve asked about very few utilities over the years:<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Why doesn\u2019t macOS work like this already?<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">A Different Way of Thinking About Window Management<\/h3>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">The philosophy behind Reef is surprisingly simple.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">You assign your most-used applications to the number keys from <strong>0 to 9<\/strong>. Once configured, holding <strong>Control<\/strong> and pressing the assigned number key opens Reef\u2019s switcher for that specific application. Continue pressing the same number while holding Control, and Reef cycles through every open window belonging to that app. Release the key, and you\u2019re instantly taken to the selected window.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">For example, your setup might look something like this:<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>1<\/strong> \u2014 Safari<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>2<\/strong> \u2014 Terminal<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>3<\/strong> \u2014 Visual Studio Code<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>4<\/strong> \u2014 Messages<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>5<\/strong> \u2014 Mail<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>6<\/strong> \u2014 Finder<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>7<\/strong> \u2014 Music<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">After only a short period of use, your brain stops thinking about windows and starts thinking about destinations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Need Safari? Press 1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Need your editor? Press 3.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Need that specific Finder window? Press 6 twice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">It sounds almost too simple, but that\u2019s exactly why it works.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"sqsrte-large\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>Installation Takes Less Than A Minute<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Getting started with Reef is refreshingly straightforward:<\/p>\n<ol data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Download Reef from the official website.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Unzip the downloaded archive.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Drag <a href=\"https:\/\/getreef.app\"><strong>Reef.app<\/strong><\/a> into your Applications folder.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Grant Accessibility permissions when prompted by macOS.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Like most utilities that interact with windows, Reef requires Accessibility access, but beyond that there are no subscriptions, accounts, or complicated setup procedures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"sqsrte-large\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>Profiles Are Where Reef Gets Clever<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Perhaps my favourite feature in Reef is its support for profiles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Rather than maintaining one set of application shortcuts forever, Reef allows you to create multiple workspace profiles that can be switched instantly using keyboard shortcuts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">For example:<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Writing Profile<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Safari<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Notes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Mail<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Music<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Messages<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Development Profile<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Terminal<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Xcode<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Safari<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">GitHub Desktop<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Documentation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">General Work Profile<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Finder<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Mail<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Calendar<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Teams<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Safari<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Switching between profiles is as simple as pressing:<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>Control + Option + [Number]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">It\u2019s a deceptively powerful feature that makes Reef feel less like a utility and more like a workspace management system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"sqsrte-large\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>Built For The Way macOS Users Actually Work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">One design decision that deserves particular praise is Reef\u2019s handling of macOS Spaces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Rather than showing every window across your entire machine, Reef limits switching to the current Space. This mirrors how many power users already organise their desktops and avoids the frustrating \u201cwhere did that window just go?\u201d experience common with traditional app switchers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">For anyone running multiple desktops for development, writing, communication and media, this behaviour feels incredibly natural.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"sqsrte-large\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>Reef Doesn\u2019t Replace Rectangle Or Magnet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">If you\u2019re already using tools like Rectangle or Magnet, don\u2019t worry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Reef isn\u2019t trying to replace your window manager.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Instead, the two work together beautifully:<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">It\u2019s one of those combinations that simply makes sense.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" class=\"sqsrte-large\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"><strong>Open Source Productivity At Its Best<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">What impresses me most about Reef isn\u2019t necessarily the feature set.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">It\u2019s the philosophy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\">Reef is lightweight, native, open source, privacy respecting, and laser-focused on solving one problem exceptionally well. There are no subscriptions, no telemetry dashboards, and no unnecessary complexity.
