No need to memorize complex shortcuts — just drag a window to a screen edge or the top toolbar. The smart grid lights up. Release the mouse, and the window snaps perfectly into place.
Keep your hands on the keyboard. Move windows however you want. A shortcut system built for power users — fully customizable, globally.
A range of preset grids and custom layouts to make full use of every inch of your ultrawide or 4K display.
Define a window's exact position and size on a 24×12 grid. Drag to select or type coordinates — any layout, in a single move.
Always there in your menu bar. Workspaces, favorite layouts and quick actions — all in a single click.
Bind multiple layout steps to the same shortcut and cycle through them on every press. Example: ⌃⌥← — first press snaps to left half, second to left 1/3, third to left 2/3, then loops.
Swipe on the title bar with your trackpad to summon the layout disk. Eight directions for eight layouts — swipe again for the second layer.
Bind a dedicated hotkey to each favorite app — jump straight there with one press. No more cycling through ⌘Tab. Move between dev, design and chat seamlessly.
FinderEvery copy is recorded automatically. Summon the history with a shortcut, then ⌘+number to paste directly — never switch windows hunting for content again.
Define triggers for your most-used emails, addresses, signatures and snippets in advance. Type a few characters and watch them expand into full content — works in mail, chat and any document.
macOS shows a security prompt the first time you launch a new app. WindSpace contains no malicious code — just two quick steps to allow it.
When you first double-click WindSpace, macOS shows “WindSpace cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.” Click “Done” on the left — do NOT click “Move to Trash”.
Never click “Move to Trash” — that deletes the app from your Mac.
Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to the Security section. You’ll see “‘WindSpace’ was blocked to protect your Mac.” Click “Open Anyway”, then authenticate with your password or Touch ID. The app will launch normally.
The “Open Anyway” button only appears after macOS has blocked the app once.
Free download, completely free to use. No sign-in, no subscription.
