Window Tidy For Mac

Managing a cluttered desktop can be a real challenge: most of the windows overlap and resizing them manually usually takes time and precision.

Window Tidy stays in your menu bar and provides quick access to a collection of extremely intuitive tools that will greatly improve your productivity.

To function, Window Tidy requires the “Assistive Devices” system option to be enabled, regardless of the operating system you are currently using. To learn how you can find this option in Mac OS X Mavericks you can read the Apple support document.

Once that is taken care of, simply launch the application, select the window you want to relocate and drag it to another area. Instantly, you will be able to see the four Window Tidy default layouts. Drop the respective window on top of the layout you want to use and the app takes care of the rest.

However, Window Tidy comes with many layout customization options and you must navigate to the Preferences window to access them.

The Window Tidy app also allows you to quickly create your own patterns that will be added to the default list. The best part is that you can use custom sized grids for each layout. You can change the list position on your desktop and the wallpaper behind the layout previews.

Window Tidy enables you to define hotkeys to show or hide the layouts list, to trigger different layouts automatically or to launch the Quick Layout function.

Moreover, being able to launch the Quick Layout panel by using your keyboard is extremely useful because you can create a layout on the go, without adding the preset to the list.

Window Tidy is an user-friendly and simple to use Mac application designed to provide you with an extremely intuitive and fast workflow for keeping your windows neatly organized.
