User Reviews

Tried using various modes. I could duplicate the window inside Inset but when I minimized the original window, Inset stopped displaying the active window. Meaning, I have to have Inset and the original window open on the screen, kind of defeating the purpose. I’m sure it’s a fine app but it lacks a help or tutorial file so it remains a mystery to this user. Also, it doesn’t appear to play well with Haze Over, which I had to disable.
