On a Mac, drag a window to an edge or a corner and it snaps into place.

Built for muscle memory

Everything you’d expect from a window manager, without the dock clutter or Electron baggage.

Every useful snap

Halves, corners (quarters), thirds and two-thirds, maximize, center, and restore.

Keyboard and drag

Magnet-style ⌃⌥ defaults you can edit, plus drag-to-edge with a blue preview.

Multi-display

Move windows to the next or previous display without breaking your flow.

Menu bar native

Pure Swift. Lives in the menu bar, with no dock icon and no web runtime.

Signed and notarized

Apple Silicon, macOS 14+, shipped with Gatekeeper-friendly signing.
