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
  • automatically apply layouts per monitor configuration
  • replace divvy or sizeup on mac

When to choose

  • you want a free, extremely customizable macOS window manager
  • you prefer text/JavaScript-based configuration for window layouts
  • you need per-monitor-configuration default layouts or window snapshots

When to avoid

  • you want a modern, actively developed app with GUI-based configuration
  • you need window management on Linux or Windows
  • you prefer plug-and-play tiling without writing config files
