## About TidyFrame

TidyFrame is a lightweight window manager for macOS that keeps your desktop organized and brings back your favorite setups with one keyboard shortcut.

Snap any window into place

Move the active window to the left or right half, thirds, quarters or sixths of your screen with a keyboard shortcut or from the menu bar. If the built-in positions are not exactly what you need, you can create your own custom positions and give each one its own shortcut.

Save whole setups as Workspaces

Arrange your windows the way you like them, for example a code editor on the left, a browser on the right and a terminal below, then click Save as Workspace. Later, one shortcut puts every window back where it belongs. Keep separate Workspaces for coding, writing, design work, studying or video calls, and switch between them in a second instead of dragging and resizing windows by hand every day.

Arrange neatly

When you save a Workspace, TidyFrame can tidy the selected windows for you so they fill the screen evenly: two windows become halves, three become thirds and four become quarters.

Simple shortcuts

The shortcut recorder shows which keys you are holding and suggests a free combination, so setting up shortcuts takes seconds even if you have never used a window manager before.

Private and lightweight

TidyFrame lives in your menu bar, needs no account, works offline and collects no data. It is available in 34 languages.

Who it is for

Developers, writers, designers, students and anyone who works with many windows on a MacBook or an external monitor and is tired of rearranging them over and over.

Pricing

Try every feature free for 7 days. After that, TidyFrame is a one-time purchase of $4.99. No subscription, and all 1.x updates are included.
