Loop For Mac

Window management on macOS leaves something to be desired, even with the introduction of Stage Manager. There’s no easy way to move and resize windows on your desktop, which is especially necessary on smaller displays.

Loop is a window management app similar to Rectangle, with an added twist. It allows you to resize and move windows to certain positions on your desktop, and it comes with an interesting radial menu that makes the process even more intuitive.

If you’re already using a similar window manager, the feature that will stand out the most will be the radial menu. When activated with a chosen modifier, it will appear on your screen, and it enables you to visually determine where the selected window should be moved.

The preview rectangle will indicate exactly where the window will go and how its size will be changed. This preview itself can be customized or disabled altogether.

While windows can also be moved using hotkeys, they can be difficult to remember, and nothing is quite as user-friendly as a visual menu that allows mouse or trackpad control.

On the other hand, some users hate taking their hands off their keyboards, and this can certainly help you work more efficiently. To this end, the radial menu trigger modifier can also be used in combination with arrow keys to move and resize windows without mouse movements.

The default bindings are great, but you can also customize them and add new ones. Some hotkeys will cycle between several options when triggered again, and you can add or remove options from all key combinations.

Of all window management apps, Loop is probably the easiest to get used to. The radial menu is incredibly intuitive, and you can then start using hotkeys once you get more comfortable with the system. There are also plenty of behaviors and appearance settings to customize, making this a versatile tool suitable for pretty much anyone.
