Features

Built for the way you actually work.

01

Drag to snap.

Hold ⇧ while dragging. Overlays appear on every display, hover the target, release. Hold ⌃ alongside to span two adjacent zones into one.

02

Hotkey grid.

Move the focused window between zones, displays, and layouts with ⌃⌥ + a key. Every action is rebindable.

03

Per-display profiles.

Studio in the morning, laptop on a train. Profiles bind layouts to physical displays by UUID and switch automatically.

04

Session save & restore.

Snapshot every window in every app, then put them back exactly where you had them. Survives reboots.

05

A real editor.

Drag, resize, duplicate, and name zones on a canvas. Save layouts, share them across displays, start from templates.

06

Native and lightweight.

A 4 MB universal binary. Hardened runtime, quiet background updates. No Electron, no telemetry, no account.

Shortcuts

A vocabulary you'll learn once.

  1. ⇧drag

    Snap the window under your cursor into a zone.

  2. ⇧⌃drag

    Span multiple adjacent zones into a single rect.

  3. ⌃⌥1…9

    Send the focused window to zone n of the current layout.

  4. ⌃⌥→

    Step the window to the next zone, or expand into a neighbor.

  5. ⌃⌥F

    Fill the display. Press again to restore the pre-fill rect.

  6. ⌃⌥D

    Hurl the window to the next display, keeping its zone.

Every chord is rebindable in Settings. Defaults are conservative; no conflicts with macOS or common apps.
