Problem

Developers running many parallel AI coding sessions lose time hunting across virtual desktops for the right VS Code window, terminal, and browser tabs.

03.01.2

Approach

A Tauri 2 and Rust kernel owns global hotkeys and tray state. A frosted numpad overlay maps each profile to a chord that restores the editor, terminal, Chromium tabs, and multi-monitor layout. Windows APIs sit behind adapters so the undocumented virtual-desktop path can fall back cleanly.

03.01.3

Outcome

V1 spine in progress: hotkey broker and overlay working, browser bridge under review. Built to ship as a portable offline executable, with an MIT open-source release planned once the core is stable.
