Key quotes
· 3 pulledI built Spantop because I often wanted a second monitor without carrying one around.
The goal was simple: open the app, connect another screen, and extend your Mac workspace.
Would love your feedback — especially from Mac users who use multi-monitor setups, travel often, or work across multiple devices.
