Here's a Mac application I've had on the back-burner for a while. SlipStream is task switcher with a unique way of showing you your open application windows: it provides a preview of the window and it's location on the desktop. It also gives you keyboard control over the size and position of your windows.

This is really handy if you are a developer who uses large or multiple displays and prefer to keep your hands on the keyboard, which is why I built it.

To use

• First you'll need to go to your System Preferences, open Universal Access and check the box "Enable access for assistive devices."
• Launch SlipStream by double clicking on the icon.
• option-tab to cycle between windows, shift-option-tab to reverse cycle.
• control-option & arrow keys to move window against screen edges.
• control-option-shift & arrow keys to resize window.

It's currently in an 'alpha' state with a couple of key features missing (such as preferences to change the keyboard commands), but I'm putting it out there to see if there's any interest and then I'll decide where to take it.

The options, as I see it, are:

• Commericalise:  Once complete I'm thinking I'd charge $15 for it.
• Open source: I'd take this route if there were other Cocoa developers interested in working on the code with me. 

So try it out and give me some feedback:  Does it work for you? What would you pay for it? What features do you need? Or are you a cocoa developer interested in helping out?
