About Moom
Moom moves and resizes windows on macOS. Hovering over a window's green, red or yellow button opens a pop-up palette of actions, which you can customize with up to 61 entries, including grids, folders and layouts. Keyboard shortcuts are also available.
Saved layouts record where windows sit and restore them later, and Moom can adjust windows automatically when the display setup changes, for example when a laptop connects to an external monitor. Version 4.6 requires macOS 10.13 or newer.
