About SwiftShift

SwiftShift is a window management app for macOS. It lets you move and resize windows with your mouse, without hunting for tiny arrows or window titles, and it runs quietly in the background once your shortcuts are set.

You can include mouse buttons in your shortcuts to match the behavior of some Linux desktops. It suits anyone who rearranges windows often and wants to do it quickly.

Highlights

  • Move and resize windows with shortcuts that can include mouse buttons
  • Smart resizing with quadrants, so a window resizes from the edge or corner closest to the mouse
  • Focus on window
  • Launch at login, and an option to hide the menu bar icon
  • Ignore list for apps you do not want it to affect
