●●●BangerWizardryEye CandyShip It

Infinite-canvas window orchestrator with real macOS displays and undo/redo, beats tmux for visual workflows.

Strengths
  • Creates actual OS-recognized displays arranged in infinite canvas, not just visual grouping—real capability
  • Obsessive UX polish: undo/redo, navigation history, savepoints, all keyboard-driven with zero lag
  • Freely manage many tasks simultaneously with picture-in-picture overlay that never blocks work
Weaknesses
  • macOS-only severely limits audience compared to tmux's universality
  • No evidence of how this scales to 10+ virtual displays or resource constraints
