windOCD For Mac

windOCD is a minimalist OS X application that resides in the status bar and can help you control the windows of your applications by using hotkeys.

The windOCD utility can also memorize the window size and position so that you can go back to the same settings with ease.

Via the windOCD status bar menu, you get to see the list of available functions together with the hotkeys assigned by default. Note that you get to change all the keyboard combinations and use your own hotkeys, even though the status bar menu will not reflect the change.

The windOCD functions revolve around two main tasks: controlling the app windows directly by centering them or aligning them to different areas of the screen, or memorizing their position for later use.

Nonetheless, before being able to perform these actions, you need to add the windOCD utility to the list of apps that can control your computer within the System Preferences (the user account’s password is required).

Once you create a collection of saved frames for your applications, you can choose to use the settings each time any of the utilities are relaunched, regardless of the changes made in the previous session.

As a result, you can save a lot of time that is usually reserved for moving windows back and forth. However, keep in mind that you get to save a single frame setting per application.

To sum up, windOCD proposes an alternative solution for moving around app windows and relies on hotkeys that can be easily personalized by the user.

You get to save the window position and go back to the base settings in no time. It's worth mentioning that windOCD only preserves the frame and does not access any data related to the window content.
