How about being informed that your brand-new application has been approved for sale in the App Store, <em>during<\/em> the actual iPad 2 launch? Yes, that&#8217;s exactly what happened to us today with our newest app.<\/p>\n<p>So with apologies for stealing the limelight from iPad2 (right&#8230;), we&#8217;re thrilled to introduce <a href=\"\/moom\">Moom<\/a>, Many Tricks&#8217; newest tool to improve your productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Moom simplifies a task that most of us do many times a day: moving and sizing windows. Whether it&#8217;s wanting a full-screen view while working on a project, or wanting to arrange a couple windows with each taking up half your screen, Moom makes those tasks as simple as a mouse click or keyboard shortcut.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/moom\/images\/mouseui.png\" align=\"right\" style=\"padding-left:10px; margin-right:-12px\">In mouse mode, Moom&#8217;s interface appears when your mouse enters a window&#8217;s green zoom button; click the desired window size\/position, and the window moves there. Change your mind? Hover over the green button again, and click the arrow to return the window to its original size and location. It doesn&#8217;t get much simpler than that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/moom\/images\/keyoverlay.jpg\" align=\"right\" style=\"padding-left:10px; margin-right:-8px\" width=\"165\" height=\"165\">For even more power, though, try Moom in keyboard mode. You assign a global hot key, and which actions you&#8217;d like for various combinations of the arrow keys and modifier keys. Press the hot key, and the overlay image at right appears; you can then use the keys you&#8217;ve set up to move your windows around.<\/p>\n<p>Using the keyboard, Moom also gains the ability to center a window; something you can&#8217;t do using Moom in mouse mode.<\/p>\n<p>Moom is available <a href=\"\/moom\">directly on our site<\/a> for $5, or <a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/moom\/id419330170?mt=12\">via the App Store<\/a> for $4.99. If you&#8217;d like to try Moom before buying, download the free demo from out site&mdash;you can &#8220;Moom&#8221; 100 windows before the trial expires, so that&#8217;ll give you a good sense for how it works.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions about Moom, please post them here, or contact me directly; I&#8217;ll do my best to answer them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So what could possibly be more exciting than the iPad 2 launch today?
