πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ

it was created for GNOME desktops, and you can control it either with the mouse or β if you need more precision β with the keyboard. the way that keyboard control just exists for the precision girlies?? obsessed π«Ά
and if you need it, it also has an option to keep on top of other windows, so it's never gonna get buried under your 47 open tabs. main character energy fr fr π
