It’s a real time-saver and after spending time with it, I’m not exactly sure how I’ve been living without it until now. I’m going to be installing this one on all of the computers both at home and in the office. It doesn’t get much more handy than that. I’ve used a number of alternatives in the past, but this one gives me the flexibility I need to set up different scenarios. This application saves me a lot of time, and manages my windows quite effectively. You can bring up the options by simply opening the application again, should you decide on running faceless. I have it running faceless now, and it seems to be my favorite alternative so far. Personally I prefer having my applications in the menubar, but a lot of people prefer application to be open in the dock, or faceless (meaning in the background). If you could set the start point, then rotation direction (clockwise, or counter) I’d get more use out of this one. Personally, I’d prefer it if I could set up one keyboard shortcut, then have the window jump between the locations every time I hit it repeatedly. You have 8 options for location, but if you want to use multiple edges or corners, you’re going to have to set up multiple keyboard combos to maximize this option. You can set up a keyboard shortcut to shunt your window to either a corner or an edge of the screen. The title of this one is pretty self evident. Hit a keyboard shortcut, and you’re done. Way too often I find myself with an open application that I want to drag and drop to my secondary monitor it’s a giant waste of time. You can also move your applications to a secondary, or third display, and then have the applications resize proportionally. CenterĪs you would expect, this option lets you center a window at either the “standard Mac OS X center, or “actual center.” The “standard Mac OS X center” option seems to be about 100 pixels higher than true center, so you may want to take that into account if you’re going to use this one. If you’re really particular about your grid setup, and prefer to predefine app location based on pixels, this preset will let you do that. It’s probably one of most used options for me, other than the move and zoom. For instance, you can set it to resize your widow to 1024×768 so you can see how your website will look in Safari at that size. It’s very handy for testing out new layouts in web browsers. This option just resizes your window to a particular resolution. ![]() I can set up a shortcut to move an application into that spot perfectly. For instance, I like having my Twitter application open in the right-third location at all times. Pretty handy if you have a particular location on your monitor for certain applications. By selecting this predefined preset, you can literally move an application into a section of your monitor, as defined by you, and then have the window automatically resized to fit in that area. Here are the different scenarios Moom lets you customize: Move & Zoom Either way, this is one of the more handy applications I’ve installed in the last little while. You can use the nifty popup when you hover over that green + mark on your applications (as shown in the header image), or you can set up keyboard shortcuts. Moom is broken into 6 different situations, and all let you move and zoom (get it, moom?) your application into particular locations around your monitor, or to a secondary monitor. If you use the keyboard shortcut you get all of the same options as the pre-defined window options, without having to leave your keyboard. The application lets you use the pre-defined options from any application, or you could open moom with a keyboard shortcut. ![]() The application is set up in a 6 x 4 grid, but you can actually set it up to run anywhere between 1×1 and 12×12 - it’s really up to you. The application turns your monitor into a 6 x 4 grid, letting you place applications anyway you see fit. ![]() Heck, if you wanted to you could do a lot more than that. ![]() Moom is an application that lets you organize your desktop applications onto a grid, giving you keyboard shortcut access to optimizing the placement of your applications. You can set up Moom to have you applications placed into thirds, quadrants, or even halves. Menubar, Application, and Faceless Mode.
