Content-aware window tiling

Build a Mac utility that groups and resizes windows based on content type (code+terminal, docs+research, etc).

Why now

Knowledge workers juggle more contexts but window managers treat all apps equally.

Who for
Multitasking professionals
Business model
Paid utility
Effort
A few weeks

Developers lose hours manually arranging windows for different workflows.

A menu bar app that detects app types and applies saved layout profiles.

Power users will pay for one-click workspace switching.

Start with basic app detection and 2-3 preset layouts.

Risk: macOS updates stealing the feature.
