Moom Reviews

Best 6 Mac Window Managers
Although it’s the default way of controlling Moom, you can operate this Mac window organizer in other ways too. Head into Moom’s settings, and you can set up keyboard shortcuts, as well as drag and drop.

Top 6 Window Manager Apps for Mac
While Moom is similar to other apps on this list, it does have a few tricks up its sleeve. First, there are several ways to use the app. You can either set it up in your Dock, have it stay in the Menu Bar, or use it as an invisible app running in the background.
The 6 Best Mac Window Management Tools
Moom lets you resize your window differently. Instead of putting everything in the menu bar, the window management options reside inside the green button. To view those different arrangements, you'll have to press the Option key while hovering your mouse over the green button.
Moom vs Magnet vs Spectacle
But that’s not all. Moom supports window layouts snapshots. This means that it can record where is each window so they can be restored after a trigger. This trigger can be connecting a second display or just a keyboard shortcut. This feature makes this tool way more powerful than its rivals.

  • 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 / 5 months 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 / 7 months 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 / 11 months ago
  • Any alternatives to Sizer4 for Mac? (Resizing a window to a specific size like 1024x768)

  • MOOM doesn't work with Vivaldi
    I've got question tho, I'm using MOOM (https://manytricks.com/moom/) to help me organize application window. But somehow, it doesn't work on Vivaldi window. Source: about 1 year ago

  • Information That Won’t Fit Inside Your Head: Journals with and Without Bullets
    I love that my job is sitting on my ass drawing stuff but there are definitely times when it is still Work that I have to force myself to keep doing. Sometimes I sort of sit there watching art fall out of my stylus. Sometimes I am Sisyphus muttering and cursing as I push this fucking stone up this fucking mountain for the millionth time. "Flow" is overrated IMHO. It's certainly worth building working methods that... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

    For time tracking I lean on Time Sink. If you want something more manual then I feel like there are a zillion task-tracking timers out there but I couldn't point you to any one in particular. Wikipedia says Toggl has an OSX app so maybe you wanna look at that one first. Source: over 2 years ago
