ShiftIt is a macOS menu bar application for managing window size and position via keyboard shortcuts. It is a rewrite of the original ShiftIt and is currently looking for a new maintainer with no further development expected.
Use cases
- move windows with keyboard shortcuts on mac
- resize windows quickly on osx
- organize window layout on mac
- snap windows to half or full screen on macos
- manage x11 and cocoa window positions
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, free window manager for older macOS versions (10.7+)
- you prefer simple keyboard-driven window positioning without extra features
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the project is seeking a new maintainer
- you are on recent macOS versions where alternatives like Hammerspoon or Rectangle are better supported
- you require signed binaries or full compatibility with all apps
