In plain words

Swish is a gesture control system for macOS that lets users manage windows and applications through trackpad gestures like two-finger swipes, pinches, taps, and holds. Designed for trackpad users who want faster window management, it provides live tooltips and haptic feedback to guide interactions. The software acts as an additional gesture layer, enabling users to control their Mac without relying on traditional keyboard shortcuts or mouse clicks.
