Score: 5.7/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 6, Documentation: 3, Utility: 6)

Window Hints is a macOS utility that enables keyboard-first switching between open windows by overlaying labels on all visible windows; typing a label jumps to that window. It supports Mission Control, Stage Manager, and split views in Chrome, Ghostty, and tmux, offering a flow-preserving alternative to cmd+tab or Spotlight. The project is a native app with a freemium model (lifetime license for $7).

Target audience: macOS power users, developers, and productivity enthusiasts
