Spectacle is a macOS application that lets users move and resize windows using customizable keyboard shortcuts instead of the mouse. It supports snapping windows to screen halves, corners, thirds, and centering or maximizing them.
Use cases
- move windows with keyboard shortcuts on mac
- snap windows to screen halves and corners
- maximize or center a window without a mouse
- resize windows into thirds on macos
- organize desktop windows quickly
When to choose
- you want a free, open-source keyboard-driven window manager for macOS
- you're on an older macOS version (10.9+) where it still works fine
- you prefer its simple shortcut-based tiling behavior
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool - the project is explicitly unmaintained
- you want modern macOS features or bug fixes
- you'd prefer a supported alternative like Rectangle
