Windows user here - looks pretty neat. I googled around and it appears MS is working on something similar for Windows 10, but I'm not sure if it's going to land as a feature available to power users or rather app developers. For now I'm sticking to my ghetto AutoHotkey make-always-on-top script.

Also, that Unicode domain name looks sweet.

I'm being a bit stupid, sorry. I don't get it. What is it? A remote desktop thing? Or does it pretend to be a second monitor in a window (which is pretty clever so nice work).

EDIT: or I can plug another Mac in?

I'm confused by that bit about not alt-tabbing between video of a tutorial and your editor. I can do that now, using, you know, the window manager that's built into the OS. That's why I'm a bit lost, sorry.

I currently use http://heliumfloats.com which appears to be exactly this, albeit Helium is free. What are the benefits to this over Helium?

I was actually using Helium for a long time. It is a awesome app as well, offering a different set of features IMHO.

A sneak peak of features offered by Fenêtre.

- Browser extension

- Code highlight

- Markdown Viewer

- Click-through and See-through as well as opacity control (Helium has opacity too)

- Lots of settings to control defaults behaviors.

- Mute window

- Clipboard access

- Customizable hotkeys

- Polished experience for some website (Youtube, Vimeo, Twitch, Github to name a few...)

- Access to recent opened items

- Local files support (video, image, text files...)

- Collapsed view

Hope you'll give it a shot !
