About Moves
Watch the introduction on YouTube:
- Moves makes it easier than ever to position your windows _juuust_ right.
- Hold down your chosen modifier keys and move the mouse. No need to fiddle with 3px wide window edges or far away title bars.
- Moves lives in your menubar and is very light weight. The only thing it does, it does well.
Release
Pass VERSION=1.9.3 to force the next version. Otherwise just distribute bumps the patch version, increments the build number, builds + notarizes Moves.app, uploads Moves.app.zip to GitHub Releases, updates CHANGELOG.md, writes Updates/appcast.xml, and updates ../homebrew-tap/Casks/moves.rb. GitHub Pages publishes that committed Updates/appcast.xml at the existing app URL.
