Manico Mac App 2022 REVIEW — MacSources

Manico launches apps efficiently and creates a productive workflow for daily use.

I’m always looking for apps that can improve my macOS experience and in the process of seeking out a clipboard manager, I stumbled across an app that is now part of my daily workflow. Manico for macOS is a productivity app that is designed to provide users with a similar function as the CMD+Tab feature in macOS, but with an ability to customize it so it can work as a hidden dock.

Manico is a fast application switcher that allows users to launch and flip between apps quickly. The app is set up to use Option + number keys to launch or switch to apps, but users can set the hotkey to any combination. There are three different modes that users can utilize rather than relying on the CMD + Tab feature in macOS.

About Manico

Manico was the first paid app developed by Ding Zhou (nickname, Tualatrix Chou). Zhou released the app in July of 2013 for Mac OS X. He had more than 500 downloads and 30 purchases within the first 24 hours. The first release of Manico was not allowed for release in the Mac App Store so initial sales and downloads ran through Manico’s website with payments running through Alipay and PayPal.
