Snap: window snapping on Mac with a layout picker. Drag a window to an edge and pick a layout.

macOS Split View requires fullscreen mode and only supports two apps side by side. For developers who need terminal + editor + browser, or designers switching between Figma and a preview, the built-in tools fall short. Most developers install Rectangle or Magnet — adding another menu bar icon and another subscription. Comparing apps? See the best window managers for Mac.
Window snapping that fits your workflow
10 Snap Layouts
Left half, right half, top half, bottom half, left third, center third, right third, quarters, fullscreen, and center. Every layout you need.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Assign any keyboard shortcut to any layout. Snap windows without touching the mouse. Customizable per layout.
Drag-to-Edge Snapping
Drag a window to the edge of your screen and see a visual overlay showing where it will snap. Release to place it instantly.
Instant Restore
Accidentally snapped? One shortcut restores the window to its previous size and position. No undo stack to manage.
Multi-Monitor Support
Snap layouts work across all connected displays. Move windows between monitors with keyboard shortcuts.
Bundled with FavTray
Part of FavTray alongside eye rest, AI tracking, and more. One menu bar icon instead of installing Rectangle or Magnet separately.
Every layout you need

Built for people who juggle windows
Developers
Code editor on the left, terminal on the right. Or thirds: editor, terminal, browser. Keyboard shortcuts keep your hands on the keyboard.
Designers
Figma on one half, browser preview on the other. Drag-to-edge makes it instant when switching between design and implementation.
Writers & Researchers
Research on the left, document on the right. No manual resizing, no guessing at pixel-perfect halves.
Multitaskers
Email in a quarter, Slack in a quarter, docs in the top half. 15 layouts cover every combination you need.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Window Manager free?
Yes. Halves, quarters, maximize, center, restore, custom keyboard shortcuts and drag-to-edge snapping are free with no limit. Thirds and two-thirds are free 20 times a day; past that, a third lands on the nearest half until local midnight. Pro, a one-time $4.99, makes thirds unlimited, and the 7-day trial is unlimited.
How does this compare to Rectangle?
Rectangle is a dedicated window manager with more layout options. FavTray's window manager covers the 10 most common layouts and bundles it with the rest of FavTray in one menu bar icon. If you only need window management, Rectangle is great. If you want window management plus eye rest, AI tracking, and more, FavTray consolidates everything.
Can I set custom keyboard shortcuts?
Yes, on every plan. Assign any keyboard shortcut to any of the 15 snap layouts, plus one to restore.
Does it work with multiple monitors?
Yes. Snap layouts work across all connected displays. You can move windows between monitors using keyboard shortcuts.
Does drag-to-edge work like Windows?
Yes. Drag a window to the left, right, or top edge of your screen and a visual overlay shows where it will snap. Release to place it. It's free on every plan. On macOS 15 and later, macOS can also tile windows you drag to an edge. New installs start with Drag to Edge off when that's on; turn one of them off.
Does Window Manager collect any data?
No. Snapping is pure on-device Accessibility work — window titles, layouts, and habits are never recorded or sent anywhere. FavTray has no telemetry.
