Windows · Scrolling strip
Every open window gets its own column. Nothing overlaps: the row slides to show the one you want. With the keyboard or your mouse wheel.
Interactive simulation
Press ⌃⌥→ or click an app in the simulated Dock. Follow the steps on the left.
Click an app in the Dock below: it joins the row.

Loose windows, as usual
How it works
Each new app joins the row, right next to the one you are using.
Nothing overlaps or hides behind another window.
⌃⌥← / → to move between them; the row moves with you.
Windows
If you work with lots of windows (browser, editor, terminal, notes…) and spend the day hunting for them, the strip keeps them in order and always in view. It is the idea behind scrolling window managers (like niri or PaperWM), adapted to macOS without changing any system setting.
Each window keeps its width: ⅓, ½, ⅔, ¾ or full. ⌃⌥R changes it, so what is next to you does not jump around when you open something.
Put two or three windows in the same column (⌃⌥S), one above the other, and move between them with ⌃⌥↑ / ↓.
⌃⌥G turns a stack into tabs: each window fills the whole column and you switch with a click on its tab, ⌃⌥[ / ] or ⌃⌥↑ / ↓. If the window is alone, it groups with the column on its left.
⌃⌥Space shows all your windows with thumbnails. Save a layout (“Work”, “Editing”) and bring it back in one click.
Shortcuts
With a Windows keyboard: Ctrl = ⌃, Alt = ⌥, Shift = ⇧, Windows = ⌘. All can be changed in the app.
No. Everything has a button in the app and the menu bar; shortcuts are just faster and can be changed.
No. It only asks for Accessibility permission to move windows. No system protection needs to be disabled.
Turning it off puts every window back where it was.
