Explore on GitHub ?a few useful things
Before you
get started.
Do I need multiple monitors?
No. Create a layout on one screen or across several monitors.
Does biomes reopen my tabs and documents?
biomes launches apps and arranges their windows. It does not restore per-zone browser tabs or accounts. Documents an app reopens depend on that app?s own behavior.
What happens when I close a biome?
Its windows are minimized and tracked positions are restored where possible. Your applications remain open.
Will it work with every app?
Some apps restrict resizing or need interaction before they expose a usable window. biomes is in beta. Read the current limitations ?
What do I need to install it?
Windows 10 or 11, x64. Setup installs Microsoft WebView2 if needed, which requires internet. The beta installer is unsigned, so Windows may show a publisher warning. Official release and checksums ?
