About

Ziran is a keyboard-first macOS window switcher that runs in the menu bar.

  • Switch between apps and windows, search all windows, and pin or reorder windows.
  • Save quick-navigation bookmarks for apps, folders, files, and web pages.
  • Save window-layout templates and apply them with keyboard shortcuts.
  • Resize, center, maximize, restore, or move windows between displays.

Ziran uses the MIT license and requires macOS 14 or later and Accessibility permission. The app is ad-hoc signed, not notarized; first launch may require Open Anyway in Privacy & Security. After an upgrade, you may need to remove and re-add its Accessibility permission.

Uninstall Ziran and optional data cleanup

Uninstall command
brew uninstall --cask ziran

A regular uninstall removes the app and keeps its settings and caches.

Deep clean (optional)

Uninstall command
brew uninstall --zap --cask ziran

--zap also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left. Back up any data you need first. To keep settings and caches, leave out --zap.
