Had this on my wish list for a while:<p>An app that &quot;sticks&quot; windows together. Essentially joining two or more apps, either:<p>1) Sticking edges, E.g. The Calculator app sticks to the side of Chrome. I move Chrome, Calculator moves. I &quot;Full screen&quot; Chrome, it leaves room for calc etc.<p>2) Stacking, E.g. My communication apps (Slack, Messages, IRC) are all stacked on top of each other. I move one, all move. I resize one, all resize. I like this too keep things organized - I use alt-tab to bring one to the front.<p>You can use my made up name for this app if you want, &quot;Herd&quot; :)

It depends what sort of approach you intend to take with this really.<p>There are several things I&#x27;d like to see built, but ideally as open source&#x2F;free, even if that means providing some financial support to make it happen.<p>Some of these ideas are about providing a better GUI around an existing library or CLI tool, and some are about providing an open option where currently there are only options tied to SaaS&#x2F;proprietary services.
