Hey there! I love using the trackpad on my MacBook Pro and always wondered why its excellent gesture recognition does not extend to controlling windows and apps. Also, dragging-based window managers suck on a multi-monitor setup. So after graduating, I spontaneously decided to learn Swift and make this idea reality. You will most likely need a short time to get familiar with Swish's gesture system, especially for advanced features like pausing gestures, chaining from dock and screen switching, but after that, 'swishing' becomes second nature and you won't be able to live without it. There are a lot of details to discover. The documentation for Swish is its preferences window, so read thoroughly! This launch turned out to be sliiiiightly stressful as I wanted to get Swish out before WWDC on Monday and I had to rethink some core components after realizing that apps using the Accessibility API cannot be published to the App Store anymore. Oops. There is a 7 day trial period, after that Swish is 5€/$/£ for a limited time. Swish is notarized by Apple, so it's ready for the latest Mojave update (10.14.5). Let me know if you need help enabling system permissions! I really hope you like it and although I call myself 'highly opinionated', I am always open to suggestions, so bring 'em on!

@chrfyi Really nice work, Christian. I'm a heavy Alfred and keyboard shortcut user so this could be the missing piece for me! Who do you see this product being for? I'm always amazed that people don't know about the native gestures that are already available to them.

@iammarcthomas I'm glad you like it! It's mostly aimed at trackpad power user, "casual" MacBook users seem a bit overwhelmed at first. Everyone loves the swipe down to minimize gesture though. Most of the gestures also work on Magic Mice, although it feels a bit clumsy to me — maybe because I'm not used to working with a mouse anymore.
