People own their Macs again
Real quotes from support emails, Product Hunt, and Reddit. Unedited - we just fix typos when asked.
I don't want to forget to lock my Mac and have my WhatsApp chats seen by others in the family. Nothing bad in there, but things can be misinterpreted, surprise gifts could be spoiled. WhatsApp has locked chats on iPhone but not on the Mac desktop version, and I don't want to lock chats one by one anyway.
Across my 4 physical monitors and 12 to 15 virtual desktops, it was maddening how macOS would sometimes randomly move windows when it woke up. Layoutish has helped a lot with that. It's reduced my window reorg time by about half, and it wasn't very expensive, so I'm not complaining!
Apple's dock has a severe bug that won't let theirs work correctly on vertically stacked monitors. They haven't fixed it in a few years despite it being well known. Dockish of course, solves the problem entirely! But the other features are great and Apple should use it everywhere. So much better. I love this product now!
