Moom allows you to easily move and zoom windows—on one display, or to another display—using either the mouse or the keyboard. Moom lets you…

Moom: Bringing order to chaos since 2011

Moom makes window management as easy as clicking a mouse button—or using a keyboard shortcut, if you’re one of those types of people.

With Moom, you can easily move and zoom windows to half screen, quarter screen, or fill the screen; set custom sizes and locations, and save layouts of opened windows for one-click positioning. Once you’ve tried Moom, you’ll wonder how you used your Mac without it.

Pop-up positioning

Hover the mouse over any window’s green button, and Moom’s pop-up palette appears.

Quickly fill the screen, or move and resize to vertical or horizontal halves on screen edges. Want quarter-size windows instead? Hold down the Option key, and the palette presents four quarter-size corner options, along with “center without resizing.”

Resizing isn’t a drag…

Actually, it is a drag, using Moom’s unique on-screen resizing grid.

Click in the empty box below the pop-up palette, move the mouse to where you’d like the window to be, then click-and-drag out its new dimensions.

Release the mouse button, and the window will fill the outline you’ve drawn on the screen.

…it’s a snap!

Want to quickly move and zoom windows to certain areas of the screen? Just enable Moom’s Snap to Edges and Corners feature.

Grab a window, drag it to an edge or corner, and release the mouse. You can set the resizing action for each location in Moom’s preferences.

Save and restore window layouts

Set up a collection of windows in the size and locations you wish, then save the layout. Restore the layout via an assigned hot key or via Moom’s menus.

This feature is particularly useful if you use a laptop with an external display—Moom can trigger saved layouts on addition or removal of displays.

No mouse required

Don’t worry, keyboard users—Moom isn’t just for those who prefer using a mouse. Enable keyboard control, and you can move, resize, center, use the on-screen grid, and much more—all without touching the mouse.

In addition, every custom Moom command—keep reading!—can be assigned a global keyboard shortcut, or one that works only when the keyboard controller is onscreen.

Countless custom commands

Create and save often-used Moom actions to a menu of custom commands—complete with optional dividers and labels.

Moving, zooming, resizing, centering, even moving to other displays—all are doable via custom commands. You can even create a sequence of commands tied to one shortcut, easing complex move and sizing operations.

But wait, there’s more!

• Use Moom as a normal Dock-based app, as an icon in the menu bar, or as a completely invisible background app.
• Access custom commands through the Moom menu bar icon, through the green button’s pop-up palette, or via keyboard shortcuts.
• Use a small hexagonal grid for grid resizing, instead of the full-screen virtual grid.
• Move windows across displays—and with chained commands, zoom them to new sizes and locations while moving.
• Display a keyboard cheat sheet that shows what tasks you’ve assigned to which keys in keyboard mode.
• Resize windows to precise dimensions—perfect for checking how well things fit in windows of varying sizes.
• Hover over the green button and choose from five preset size/location options in a popup palette
•  Use a grid to ‘draw’ a window’s desired size and location
• Define custom controls to move and zoom, move to other display, center, resize, and more
•  Chain custom controls together to execute complex window management tasks
• Save window layouts to easily recreate a desired window arrangement at any time
• Automatically activate saved window layouts on changes in monitor layout, as in when you disconnect from your work display and then open your laptop at home
•  Use keyboard mode to do all of this, and more, without ever touching a mouse

Once you’ve tried Mooming your windows, you’ll never go back to simply moving and zooming them again.

What’s New in Moom 3.2.16

Fixed a bug that prevented Moom’s pop-up palette from working when macOS Catalina’s Sidecar feature was active.
