Problem

macOS has no window snapping, no clipboard history and no way to switch between individual windows: Cmd-Tab only cycles apps. The usual answer is five separate utilities.

What we built

Window snapping to halves and quarters, plus maximise and centre.
A window switcher on ⌥Tab with live thumbnails of every open window.
Clipboard history with search; picking an entry pastes it.
A launcher on ⌥Space, and a toolbox with a colour picker, keep-awake and pin-on-top.
Per-app volume control, in progress.

Design choices

One native app with one settings window, instead of wrapping existing tools.
Each tool switches on and off by itself, and asks for permissions only when first used.

Result

Five tools working day to day, built as a Swift package with no dependencies.
