Moom

Moom is a flexible window manager for macOS that offers multiple approaches to window organization: keyboard shortcuts, mouse hover controls, grid-based manual positioning, and custom layouts. Unlike simpler window managers focused solely on snapping, Moom provides comprehensive tools for users who want both quick window arrangements and precise custom positioning with saved layouts.

Best For: Mac users who want flexible window management with both quick snapping and precise custom layouts, especially those managing complex multi-window workflows or multi-monitor setups.

Key Features

What makes Moom's grid-based positioning unique?
Overlay grid appears on command, showing all possible window positions. Click and drag on grid to position windows precisely to any size and location. Grid granularity customizable (6x6, 12x12, custom). Snap to grid or free positioning. Keyboard shortcuts activate grid for mouse-free operation. Works across multiple monitors with unified or per-display grids.

How do Moom's custom layouts work?
Save current window arrangement as named snapshot. One-click restore layouts across all windows and apps. Application-specific layouts activate when apps launch. Keyboard shortcuts trigger specific layouts. Layouts persist window positions, sizes, and display assignments. Export/import for sharing across Macs.

What quick window actions does Moom provide?
Hover over green window button to access Moom popup with instant actions. Keyboard shortcuts for halves, thirds, quarters, maximize, center. Chain actions (move to other display then snap to half). Relative movements (move right, grow left). Custom actions combine multiple steps. Mouse-free operation via keyboard alone.

Can Moom handle complex multi-monitor workflows?
Move windows between displays preserving relative size. Mirror layouts across displays. Display-specific shortcuts and actions. Handle display connection/disconnection gracefully. Auto-restore windows when displays change. Per-display custom layouts.
