macOS's built-in ⌘ Tab switches apps — not windows. If you have six Chrome windows open, you still have to click around after switching.
Tabi replaces that with ⌥ Tab: a full-screen window picker that shows live thumbnails of every open window across all apps. Press, pick, done.
No menu bar icon. No preferences window. No bloat. It runs silently in the background and stays out of your way.

⌥ Tabshortcut - Screen Recording — to capture window thumbnails
Both are requested on first launch.
