One global history
A single, browser-like Back/Forward stack that spans every app you move through — not five recent contexts, a real trail.
The Mac finally has a
Back button.
Browsers have Back. Your whole workflow doesn’t — until now. Return Fast keeps one history across every app and takes you back to the exact window, file, tab and line you came from. Press ⌥⌘[.

One history for your whole Mac
Precise adapters for the tools you work in — and app-level Back for everything else.
◎
Precise locations
Window, tab & URL. Workspace, file & line. Terminal session & directory. Return Fast remembers the exact spot, not just the app.
</>
VS Code & Cursor
Reopens the exact file at the exact line you were editing — even when it was in a shared window.
↩
Automatic detours
Jump off to approve an agent or answer Slack, and Return Fast remembers where you were. One shortcut brings you home.
▣
Exact-window restore
Raises the precise window among the six you have open — and un-minimizes it from the Dock if needed.
⌘
Keyboard-first
Back, Forward and detour on global shortcuts you choose. Hands stay on the keys, flow stays intact.
◆
Fully local
No accounts, no servers, no telemetry. Your navigation trail never leaves your Mac.
✦
Native & tiny
A signed Swift menu-bar app. Barely there in Activity Monitor, instant to respond.

Never ask “where was I?” again
“I context-switch forty times an hour between Cursor, Chrome and a stack of terminals. Return Fast is the first thing that actually remembers for me.”
“The detour feature is uncanny. I approve an agent, deal with Slack, hit one shortcut and I’m back on the exact line.”
“It reopens the right file in VS Code, not just the window. That alone paid for itself the first day.”
“Finally, Back and Forward for the whole machine. Best $29 I’ve spent on my setup.”
“One-time purchase, no subscription, does exactly one thing perfectly. Instant buy.”
“The un-minimize + raise-exact-window combo ended my daily ‘which of these is it’ hunt.”
