## What it is
A Windows utility that extends the system menu of every window with extra items like Always On Top, transparency, alignment, roll up, hide, and minimize to system tray. It is written in C# and also offers a command-line interface for scripting window actions.

## Use cases
- keep a window always on top
- make a window semi-transparent
- minimize any window to the system tray
- align a window to a screen position
- save a screenshot of a window
- hide a window from Alt+Tab
- resize or move a window to another monitor
- dim all windows except the focused one

## When to choose
- you want per-window management features on Windows without replacing your window manager
- you need to script window manipulation via CLI
- you want a lightweight PowerToys-like window toolkit

## When to avoid
- you are on macOS or Linux
- you need window tiling layouts like FancyZones
- you want a cross-platform solution
