Workspace

Drop an app on the desktop.
Watch it tile.

Drag any app tile out of the dock: the app joins your workspace, and every member's window snaps into a clean grid. No zones to learn, no windows to shuffle — the desktop itself is the drop target.

Shows or hides the whole set W

One take, no tricks: drag, preview, land — then one chord to hide the whole set, and one to bring it back.

The ghost grid is the grid

While you drag, Docksmith draws the layout you'll get — one piece of grid math runs both the preview and the placement, rather than two that merely agree most of the time.

The grid is deterministic: the order you add apps is the layout. First app, first cell. No surprises to undo.

Swap with a drop

Want the browser on the left after all? Drop its tile onto another member's cell: the two windows trade places, springs and all. Rearranging is the same gesture as arranging.

One chord for the whole set

W shows or hides every member at once — your project appears and disappears as one thing.

If a member went native full screen, the first press brings it home to its cell. And between grid events, Docksmith never fights you: nudge a window by hand and it stays — the grid returns only when you ask for it.

Sized to your screen

Ten tiled windows are confetti on a 13-inch and comfortable on a 27-inch — so the workspace cap is yours to set, from 2 to 10 apps. The default, 6, keeps a laptop honest.
