What it does: bug.n is a tiling window manager add-on for the Microsoft Windows Explorer shell, written in AutoHotkey.
Layouts: It includes Tile, Monocle, and Floating layouts, with customizable layouts for each virtual desktop view.
Virtual desktops: Views let users show selected windows and tag windows to one or more views.
Status bar: The status bar can show the active window title, layout, views, time and date, CPU and memory use, disk and network load, battery, and volume.
Multiple monitors: bug.n supports multiple monitors.
Customization: Users can customize configuration variables and hotkeys by editing a Config.ini file.
Installation: There is no installation process; users unpack the ZIP and run the executable or the AutoHotkey script.
Requirements: The documentation lists Microsoft Windows 2000 or higher and AutoHotkey 1.1.10 or higher when running from source.
Security note: The documentation says antivirus tools may flag bugn.exe because it uses keyboard and shell hooks, and describes those hooks as intended behavior.
Unresolved issue: The v9.0.2 release notes say a window list leak may slow bug.n after continuous long-term use and suggest restarting it as a workaround.
License: The project is licensed under GNU General Public License version 3.
Maintenance: The repository says its current stable version is v9 and is no longer actively developed or maintained.
