Roll-up windows like a windowshade.
WindowMizer is an application that will "roll-up" your windows like a windowshade. It quickly collapses a window leaving only the title bar visible. This allows you to see what's behind the front window without losing your place or focus. Simply double-click on the title bar of a window and it will roll-up like a window-shade. The window is now out of the way yet easily accessible. Double-click again and the window restores to its original size and position.
Window-shaded windows provide quick, intuative access to all of your windows because windows stay where you put them and you can see all your windows at once. Stop digging through your windows trying to find the one your looking for. Reduce screen clutter and maintain an organized desktop when working with a multitude of windows and limited screen space.
Note: Version 5 is a PAID upgrade from version 4.x

1) There is no longer any Help of any kind, apart from the meagre FAQ. All documentation has been removed and replaced with BAD ADS, most specifically for MacKeeper, a very ill omen indeed. (I'll skip the details of why).
2) Their Forum is stagnant. Nothing has been posted there, or rather nothing has been *able* to have been posted there since June! I've tried.
Summary: BEWARE their website. I have no idea if this affects their purchasing system, but it makes me worry that money sent is going to whomever hacked the place.
If the developer is reading this: You have major problems to clean up. Your reputation is on the line.
The programming of OSX has changed a LOT since Unsanity's days, and they didn't have the balls to stick around and update anything after Snow Leopard, so no point comparing to those vaporware peddlers (that I'd certainly invested in and they took all our money).
The speed and capability of Windowmizer has increased a load over the past 2-3 years to be as close to Unsanity's WindowShade X, and Apple's original OS9 WindowShade feature.
I for one am VERY glad of its existence.
No way I'll "upgrade" to 5... when the iteration I've already paid for is non-functional!?
v5.06 now works great in Mojave overall too.
Meanwhile, I've written to the developer in an attempt to sort out if there are any actual upgrade options, as opposed to being forced to buy WindowMizer from scratch all over again as standalone. THAT I find distressing.
I don't have any copy of my 4.xx, not even on Time Machine, it got that too!!

The yearly license fee is another option. But you're not forced into a yearly fee if you don't want it.
I've written the developer in an attempt to figure out what's going on. Seeing as I have version 4.4.2 working perfectly on macOS Mojave, I see no reason to buy WindowMizer all over again at $24.95 just to have version 5.x.
And note that I don't do software subscriptions.
