With two apps side by side, your Mac ignores your first click in the other one. Not anymore.
Apps side by side, or windows stacked on top of each other. Click the one you need and it works the first time.
The same task, recorded for real: copy two things from Obsidian into an email in Safari.
One switch in the menu bar. No settings, no setup.
Tick something in the window that isn't in front. Then switch PressThru on.
PressThru
Tick something in the window that isn't in front.
You write in one app.
You check something in the other.
Every switch costs an extra click.
PressThru gives it back.
Click its title bar, the same as always. PressThru only passes your click on to what you clicked, so a title bar simply brings the window to the front.
Turn it on when you start multitasking, off when you don't need it. Nothing to configure.
Select text and drag files between apps.
Works across all your screens.
Exclude any app in one click.
No account, no network, no tracking.

macOS only lets an app act on mouse clicks with that permission. PressThru uses it for one thing: when you click an app that isn't in front, it brings that app forward and passes your click on. While the switch is off, it doesn't listen to clicks at all.
No. Clicks in the app that's already in front go straight through, untouched. PressThru only steps in when you click into a different app.
A few do, partly. In a browser, clicking a tab in a window behind already works, but a click on the page itself only brings the window forward. Calendar takes the first click too. Most apps, like Notes or a TextEdit document, ignore it. PressThru makes that first click work everywhere, browser pages included.
Not quite. ⌘-click presses something in a window behind without switching to that app, so your keyboard and menu bar stay where they were. PressThru switches you to the app you clicked and makes that click count, so you can keep working there. You can still ⌘-click whenever you like: PressThru leaves it alone.
Yes, on every connected display in any arrangement, including dragging from one display to another.
Open the file you downloaded and drag PressThru into Applications. Open it from there: it appears in the menu bar. Click it, choose Turn on, and allow Accessibility when macOS asks. That's the only setup.
Quit it from its menu and move PressThru from Applications to the Bin.
