One habit each

The Switchover apps

Switching from Windows is a thousand small frictions. Each of these is a tiny Mac menu bar app that removes one of them — and each one works entirely on its own.

What they have in common

They stay out of the way

Every one of them is a menu bar app. No Dock icon, no window sitting open, no onboarding tour. Open it once and forget it.

They ask for nothing they don't need

Where a permission is genuinely required, the app explains why in plain language and asks the first time you use the feature — never at launch. Switchover Stats and the main shortcut in Switchover Cheat Sheet need no permission at all.

Nothing leaves your Mac

None of these apps have network access. There are no accounts, no analytics and no third-party SDKs. Your clipboard history, your snippets and your snips stay on your machine.

Every shortcut can be changed

The defaults follow the Windows keys you already know. If one clashes with something you use, change it.
