Moom

Powerful Pop-Up Palette

Hover the mouse over any window's green—or red or yellow, your choice!—button, and Moom's pop-up palette appears.

Sure, this pop-up has been there for years, but now it's fully customizable. Need more icons? Add up to 61 separate actions to the pop-up, including Folders and Layouts…and even Grids.

Save Layouts of Windows in Apps

If you work with a standard set of apps and windows—and especially if you do so on a laptop that occasionally connects to an external display—Moom's saved layouts make it super simple to restore order to a chaos-filled desktop.

Lay out your windows as you want them, then save a layout. Activate the layout at any time to restore order to chaos.

Save Layouts of Any Windows

The new "any window" saved layouts are just that: Layouts that affect the N most recently used windows, where N is the number of windows in the saved layout.

These saved layouts are completely independent of apps—they don't associate a set of apps with the saved windows. Save a layout with five open windows, and your five most recently used windows will be moved into that layout's locations when you activate the layout.

At Your Command

An extensive custom actions list helps you manage your windows quickly and efficiently…and perhaps even funnly?

You can even chain actions together (see below) for some true window management power. And if you have so many custom actions that your collection is a mess, folders and menu separators can clean it right up.

Snap To It!

Use Moom's Snap feature to quickly move and zoom windows to certain areas of the screen.

Start by customizing each snap region to do what you want—including adding Folder and Layout custom actions, which mean a single drop zone can support more than one action.

Then just drag a window until your mouse reaches a snap zone and drop the window—it's a snap!

Place Windows Using Drop Zones

What's a Drop Zone? It's a window's location in a saved layout, and you can now use any saved layout as the source of drop zone targets.

Put a saved layout into one of Moom's window snapping zones, and its window positions become available as drop targets: Drag the window to the snap zone, then drop the window into one of the outlined locations that appear.

Chain Things Together

Chains are groups of two or more actions that can work in two different ways.

Chains can act as one combined action, enabling you to move a window to another display and set it to a certain size in one step, for example.

Or chains can be loops, where each time you use the chain, the next action in the sequence of chained actions is executed. These can be tracked on a per-window basis, or globally for all windows.

Moving and Resizing Isn't a Drag

Moom's Hover feature lets you move and resize the window under the mouse—even if it's in the background—by holding down a set of modifier keys while moving the mouse.

You'll be amazed at how much easier it is to move and resize windows when you don't have to hold down a mouse click (or move to a window's edge) to do so. You can resize from any corner, too.

No Mouse Required

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

In addition, if you assign a single-key shortcut to a custom action, it will be available in the keyboard controller as well.

Still No Mouse Required

Another way to use the keyboard with Moom is to access your custom actions—as seen in the menu bar menu—via a hot key and on-screen controller.

All of your custom actions are accessible via that on-screen controller, including Chains, Folders, and Layouts.

Folders of Folders of Folders…

Arrange your collection of custom actions into folders, and nest them as many levels deep as you wish. Add in Menu Headers and Menu Separators to fully organize your Moom collection.

But folders aren't just for organization…try assigning a keyboard shortcut to a folder to see what else they can do.

Share Your Setups

Moom provides an import/export option to make it easy to share your collection of actions.

You can also use the Universal Clipboard to copy actions on one Mac and paste them on another local Mac, or Universal Control to drag a selection of custom actions between the Settings windows on two Macs.

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 … and a new hybrid mode gives you both a menu bar icon and a Dock icon.
• Every single Moom action can be renamed—not just saved layouts, everything. Well, everything except menu separators, because those are just lines.
• Grid sizes can change with each custom action that uses the grid, so you can have a vertical grid orientation for commands targeting portrait displays, and horizontal for commands targeting landscape displays.
• If you'd rather not enter full screen mode if you click on a green window button, Moom lets you disable that feature.

• The new Use Grid custom action can be put in the pop-up palette, so you don't need to click in an image well to use the on-screen grid.
• Saved window layouts now try their best to adjust to different display sizes when used on displays that differ from those where they were created.
• Layouts with overlapping windows are both visibly obvious in their settings panels, and easily enabled/disabled with a button click.
• The Resize option now has a Use Active Window Size button, which will grab the dimensions of the frontmost window, making it easy to create a custom action based on an existing window's size.
