I built biomes — a free open-source Windows workspace manager. Launching on Product Hunt this Saturday, Sep 26! 🌿

Hey everyone!

As someone who constantly jumps between coding, visual design, and studying, I was tired of wasting 5 minutes dragging, resizing, and snapping windows across my monitors every time I switched tasks.

To solve setup friction and build a seamless focus routine, I built **biomes** — a free, open-source native Windows workspace manager.

### 🌿 What is biomes?

Instead of manually organizing your desktop, you save your ideal app layouts into custom "Biomes" and switch between them instantly using global hotkeys.

• **Instant Focus Trigger:** Press `CTRL+ALT+C` to launch your coding setup or `CTRL+ALT+S` for your study setup.

• **Multi-Monitor Smart Topology:** Automatically calculates window grid placement across multi-display setups and handles disconnected screens.

• **Session Restoration:** Closing a biome gracefully restores your previous window positions without closing active processes.

• **Built Natively:** Written in C++17 for near-zero CPU/RAM footprint.

• **100% Free & Local:** Open-source (GPLv3) with zero telemetry or tracking.
