• macOS Sequoia is available today

  We may actually be seeing the moment where Moom[1] is no longer an essential OS X app. It can solve both window tiling and the "maximize problem" on mac and has been my first install for many years. Here's to hoping that Apple can get one basic OS feature right once. [1] https://manytricks.com/moom/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Apple has not fixed the macOS audio left/right balance bug for 10 years

  Most of the time, I don’t. It sounds silly but macOS window management works best when you don’t micromanage and just let windows pile up at whichever size fits their content, kind of like papers on a desk. Instead I group windows by virtual desktop (space) on two monitors, switching out virtual desktops to mix and match sets of windows. Individual windows are rarely moved or resized. On the odd occasion I need... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS

  I similarly find something like Yabai a bit too heavy-handed for my needs, and instead prefer Moom[0]. I find that only need tiling occasionally, and for that Moom excels since it doesn’t add any new key shortcuts to memorize and is only ever visibly present when hovering your cursor over a window’s green button. Its Aero Snap equivalent is optional and turned off by default too, which is great for me (I trigger... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Rethinking Window Management in Gnome

  I ended up using Moom [1] to work around some of the oddities of macOS window management. It's relatively low-feature, mostly for window arrangements and sizing. I use it on a vertical monitor to split window placement horizontally, since macOS can only natively do vertical splits. It has other features too (like saving layouts and keyboard shortcuts), but I don't use them that much. 1. https://manytricks.com/moom/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?

  I started with rectangle but now prefer moom. https://manytricks.com/moom/ It integrates in the way I would expect the native feature to work: hover the green button for a snapping palette. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

  Install Moom (window snapping that’s not nearly as obtrusive as most Aero Snap style alternatives). Source: about 2 years ago

• MacOS/Apple Rant

  NB: Quite a lot of people who are from a more Windows-orientated background, as well as many die-hard macOS users, use additional window management add-ons such as https://rectangleapp.com. I prefer Moom myself, but it's payware while Rectangle is free & open source. Source: about 2 years ago

  Take a look at Bunch. It, with other tools such as a window manager like Moom, will allow you to do this. Source: about 2 years ago

• looking for a solution for keeping windows placed in different spaces on dual monitors

  I use Moom for other window management. It is not clear if Moom has the exact feature you are looking for, the automatic window positioning upon app launch (which is why I use Stay as well). Source: about 2 years ago

• Makers, what are the tools you can't live without?

  Https://manytricks.com/moom/ There are many other window managers, but this is still one of the best (hint: shortcuts again). Source: over 2 years ago

• Alternative to "Stay" app, which remembers windows positions when docking/undocking

  Moom, per its website, has similar functionality. I use Moom for other window management and it works well for me. Once Stay stops working I'll no doubt switch. But as of yet I've not tried to use the monitor add/subtract features of Moom. Source: over 2 years ago

• Pls recommend a window manager that suits my specific need

  I think it remembers window titles (e.g. Finder window where a folder with name "photos" is opened). But it won't open browser tabs for you, or do anything with the tabs. Best thing to do is to check it out. They have a trial version: https://manytricks.com/moom/. Source: over 2 years ago
