Topdesk Alternatives
Topdesk is described as 'TopDesk radically reduces the time you spend switching between tasks by giving you the ability to quickly find the window you want from a thumbnail view'. There are more than 10 alternatives to Topdesk for Mac, Windows, Linux and BSD. The best alternative is Dexpot. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Hyperswitch or KWin. Other great apps like Topdesk are Witch (Paid), Mission Control (Paid), Command-Tab Plus (Paid) and Raskin (Free).
