Window management
Snap the front window on macOS to halves, thirds and quarters with Cleat, maximize, centre, move it to the next display, or save whole window layouts by name.
Cleat moves windows through the Accessibility API, which is why it asks for that permission the first time you use it.
Positions
| Keys | Position |
|---|---|
| ⌃ ⌥ ← → ↑ ↓ | Left, right, top, bottom half |
| ⌃ ⌥ U I J K | Top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right quarter |
| ⌃ ⌥ D F G | Left, centre, right third |
| ⌃ ⌥ E T | Left, right two thirds |
| ⌃ ⌥ ⏎ | Maximize |
| ⌃ ⌥ C | Centre |
| ⌃ ⌥ ⌘ → | Move to the next display |
Every position is also a row in the palette: type left half or maximize. All the keys can be changed in Settings › Hotkeys.
Layouts
Type layout. Save Current Layout records the position and size of every window on every display under a name you choose. Selecting a saved layout later puts each window back, as long as its app is running. Layouts are the way to get back to “meeting mode” or “two editors side by side” without dragging.
Shortcuts and Siri
Snap Window is one of Cleat’s App Intents, so a Shortcut can snap the front window as one of its steps, and Spotlight on macOS 26 lists it as an action.
