About
MakeItHome helps you feel like your workspace is your home, giving you quick access to the apps you use most by going beyond the screen with your mouse.
Simply drag your mouse across the sides or bottom of the screen and you can push the boundaries of your computer and focus on the apps you love.
MakeItHome is a product of the young company Gecko's Ink, which aims to offer a set of features aimed at improving the usability of our Mac.
Gecko's Ink took advantage of this technology to initially offer a more practical extension of the Stage Manager feature offered by macOS Ventura, giving the user quick access to the applications most used at the moment, a workspace, with more preview windows.
But the actual technology behind the software is the screen tearing effect, which the company intends to use in future versions to implement additional features such as quick access to notes, favorite widgets, or the very simple but extremely effective ability to drag and drop files into an area "behind the screen" and then take them and place them wherever we want.
MakeItHome supports virtual desktops, such as allowing you to switch to another window of the same application located in a different space, as well as multi-monitor functionality without interfering with the normal functionality of our beloved operating system.
Wait, have I already told you how this works? Simply move your mouse outside the monitor, to the sides or bottom (the top one is temporarily disabled to support certain features in the future), and voila, the magic begins.
