CodeV - Quick Switcher

Developer Tools

Only for Mac

Free

Mac

Quickly switch between VS Code and Cursor projects with a keyboard shortcut. Supports reading recent projects and scanning working directories. CodeV (formerly SwitchV) works like Spotlight to help developers quickly open and switch VS Code or Cursor project windows. The primary usage is to press the shortcut (⌃+⌘+R) or click the CodeV icon on the menu bar to instantly launch the Quick Switcher, then select a target folder, workspace, or recently opened file from the list to open it in VS Code or Cursor — even if the IDE is not running yet. No extensions or command-line tools required. CodeV reads your IDE's recent projects data directly. For the Mac App Store version, you need to grant CodeV access to your IDE's data folder via Settings → IDE Preference → Grant Access (a one-time setup). The selection list has two sources: 1. Recently opened items (shown as white items) — your latest VS Code or Cursor windows, including folders, workspaces, and recently opened files. 2. Working folder items (shown as green items) — first-level subfolders and workspace files found by scanning a folder you choose. Features: 1. Spotlight-like quick open: use ⌃+⌘+R or the menu bar icon. Search and select an item to open or switch to it. 2. Supports VS Code and Cursor. Switch between them in Settings → IDE Preference. 3. Supports folders, VS Code workspace files, and recently opened files. 4. Remove items from the recent list by hovering and clicking "x". 5. (Optional) Scan a favorite working folder to populate the second part of the list. Click the "..." menu button in the Quick Switcher to set up. 6. (Optional) Built-in AI Assistant powered by Anthropic Claude API. Use your own API key to get code insights or chat. Trigger with ⌃+⌘+E (insight from clipboard) or ⌃+⌘+C (chat mode). Configure via Settings → API Key Settings. Three ways to quit CodeV: (a) open CodeV and click the quit button in the "..." menu, (b) right-click the CodeV menu bar icon and click Quit, (c) open CodeV and press ⌘+Q.
