About MakeItHome
MakeItHome treats the space beyond the screen edges as an extra area. Moving the cursor past a border reveals running apps with live window previews; you can pin apps to an edge, and the top edge holds widgets for notes, tasks, a calendar, clipboard history and custom web widgets.
Live previews need Screen Recording permission; the project says captures stay on the Mac. Releases are published on GitHub, and the developer also sells it on the Mac App Store.
