Cursor preview

About

Software creation is changing. We are a group of researchers, engineers, and technologists inventing at the edge of what's useful and possible.

A grid view of all open windows as scaled previews, allowing quick selection to bring any window to front.

Menu item in MenuBar.tsx (View > Mission Control), hotkey F3, or double-tap desktop.

Overlay existing windows into a grid of live previews with spring-based layout animations and shared element transitions.
