And for a long time, I just accepted it as part of the daily routine.</p> <p>Terminals, browsers, VSCodes… the same app open multiple times. And every time I looked for something: either I couldn't find it, or I ended up switching to the wrong window.</p> <p>A small annoyance, sure. But when it happens 30 times a day, it starts to add up.</p> <p>WIN + TAB, CTRL + TAB… I use them constantly. But they're slow, clunky, and never really useful when you have a lot of windows or multiple desktops.</p> <p>What I needed was something simple: type a window's name, no matter which desktop it's on, and jump straight to it.</p> <p>I couldn't find anything like that. So I built it myself.</p> <p>I've created a window manager that's fast, lightweight, and designed with one goal: get you exactly where you want to be, save you time, and make your life a little easier.</p> <p>It's open-source .</p> <p>P.S.: Since I could never find the Recycle Bin either… I added a shortcut for that too.
