The author discusses their inspiration from Linux window managers for creating a new app concept for modern macOS called Stapler. This app allows users to collect and launch all apps, files, folders, and documents related to a specific task in one go. The app is a hybrid of classic Macintosh Stapler app and LaunchList with added features like drag and drop and auto-launch. There are no preferences or settings, just a simple set up per project. The author mentions challenges faced in macOS development including dealing with files and limitations on older operating systems. The app is written in Swift and SwiftUI, and the author seeks help for designing icons.
