Slate is a highly configurable macOS window management application that lets users bind keystrokes to move, resize, and focus windows, activate layouts, and take window snapshots. It serves as a free replacement for tools like Divvy, SizeUp, and ShiftIt, with configuration via a .slate file or JavaScript.
Use cases
- manage mac window positions with keyboard shortcuts
- resize and move windows on macOS
- save and restore window layouts
- switch window focus using keyboard hints

When to choose
