Moom

Release Notes

What's new in Moom?

Moom 4.1.3 - Nov 5 2024

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Fixed a bug that would cause a window alignment issue when moving a window from a larger to a smaller display while near a screen edge. (Hat tip to Steven A.)
• Fixed a regression where the "center frontmost window geometrically" AppleScript command did the same macOS centering "center frontmost window" does. (Hat tip to DarthMac on Discord.)
• Fixed an inconsistency with assigning non-standard behavior to the palette's anchor button. (Hat tip to Aeon M.)
• Improved hover resizing on multi-display setups. (Hat tip to Yaroslav Y.)
• Further improved compatibility with some third-party apps that use invisible windows that can interfere with Moom.
• The "layout doesn't apply" dialog now displays the name of the layout in question, and the apps within that layout. (Hat tip to Steve M. for the suggestion.)

Moom 4.1.2 - Sep 17 2024

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Fixed a regression in Moom 4.1.1 where moving a window to another display failed under very specific circumstances. Sorry about the hassle! (Hat tip to Nicolas R and Chad O.)

Moom 4.1.1 - Sep 16 2024

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Improved compatibility with macOS 15 Sequoia: Moom now automatically disables any competing macOS tiling features while the corresponding Moom feature is enabled.
• Drop zones now respect the underlying layout's setting for obstructed windows, granting access to partially obstructed windows if appropriate. (Fully obstructed windows are still ignored, since the corresponding drop zones wouldn't be accessible via drag & drop anyway.)
• If drop zones via modifier keys aren't enabled, Hover will be less "greedy" and not respond when other non-Hover modifiers are pressed. (Hat tip to Lewis.)
• Percentage-based resizing now takes spacing into account. (Hat tip to Bernd F.)
• Further improved Moom's robustness against macOS interfering to (erroneously) "correct" window sizes and positions. (Hat tip to Adam J.)
• Improved positioning when moving windows to another display while resizing proportionally is disabled. (Hat tip to Matt G.)
• Improved cheat sheet appearance in dark mode when viewed in front of bright windows. (Hat tip to Chris.)
• Improved compatibility with various third-party apps. (Hat tip to Swifferdusterr on MPU Talk.)
• Animations are disabled if the user has "Reduce Motion" enabled in Accessibility, and hasn't ever interacted with Moom's animation setting. (Hat tip to Craig G.)
• The toggle full screen action now has a unique icon.

Moom 4.1 - Aug 28 2024

New Features

• Drop zones can now be activated by holding a single modifier key while you move a window manually. Alternatively, you can rely on the modifier key components of your layouts' hot keys for this, or just the actual layout hot keys as before. See the lower part of your "Snap" settings for how to set this up.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Your custom actions' hot keys are now displayed in the sidebar by default. You can switch this off or make it depend on the window's width by taking a trip to the View menu.
• Worked around a rare issue where the settings window's sidebar wouldn't be displayed correctly. (Hat tip to Pierre B.)
• Worked around an issue where putting a window flush against the Dock could result in incorrect window dimensions because of macOS interfering to (erroneously) "correct" the window's size. (Hat tip to Fernando and TDK_SA90 on Discord.)
• Fixed a bug where Moom could get confused about where to put windows under very rare circumstances. (Hat tip to David W.)
• Fixed a bug where Moom crashed when switching between grids or activating the same grid multiple times. (Hat tip to Hans S.)

Moom 4.0.1 - Aug 23 2024

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Fixed a bug where the palette got confused about icon sizes when switching between retina and non-retina displays. (Hat tip to Dean B and Steffen K.)
• Fixed a bug where using keyboard control on Moom's own settings window could lead to unexpected results. (Hat tip to Jeff N.)
• Resize & center now centers windows correctly even if the resulting window size isn't what was requested, e.g., because the window's minimum size is being enforced. (Hat tip to Matthias F.)

Moom 4.0 - Aug 21 2024

New Features

• Drop zones let you drag a window and either activate a saved layout via hot key, or drag to a defined snap zone, and then drop on a window location from the saved layout.
• Hover mode allows you to move or resize windows simply by dragging your mouse while holding down a set of modifier keys of your choice. Also works for windows in the background!
• The palette is now fully customizable: Drag in your own custom actions (including folders of even more actions — see below), hide the default buttons, and change the palette's size as you see fit.
• Assign Moom's palette to any of the three standard window widgets. The green (zoom/full screen) button is still the default, of course, like it has always been.
• Optionally choose non-standard functionality for the window widget your palette is assigned to, such as zooming to fill the available space or doing nothing at all.
• Navigate and activate your custom actions via keyboard, either via top-level hot key, or by assigning hot keys to individual folders. Use your arrow keys, or just start typing to jump to an action via fuzzy matching.
• Speaking of folders, custom actions can now be organized using folders.
• Layouts can now optionally apply to any windows starting with the frontmost window, as opposed to only applying to windows matching what was there when the layout was saved. (What are layouts? They were known as "Arrange Windows" in previous Moom versions.)
• Layouts now automatically adapt to display configuration changes by default.
• Chains are now folder-like entities, as opposed to being defined by assigning the same hot key to multiple custom actions.
• Chained actions can now be run as one (as before), or as separate steps in a loop, where each activation of a chain executes the next step in the chain. Loops can optionally be tracked separately for each affected window.
• Center is now a valid option for the Snap feature.
• Better yet, any custom action is now a valid option for the Snap feature. Specifically, layouts will present themselves as drop zones (see above), and folders will let you choose from their descendants by dragging along a display edge.
• You can now have as many grid actions as you want, where each of them can have its own individual numbers of columns and rows.
• Convert move & resize actions into layouts — either individually, or by selecting a number of actions and compiling them into a layout — and extract individual move & resize actions from layouts.
• Share custom actions with other local Macs via drag & drop (assuming Universal Control is enabled) or copy & paste (assuming Universal Clipboard is enabled).
• Share custom actions with non-local Macs via export/import. (Note that you can select multiple custom actions before exporting.)
• Duplicate your custom actions via File menu, context menu, or by option-dragging them.
• Alternatively, you can have Moom stay visible in both the menu bar and the Dock at all times. (Faceless mode as well as the "standard" dock-only mode are also still options, of course.)
• The "run" AppleScript command lets you activate any custom action.
• If you don't want a given custom action to appear in Moom's menus, prefix its name with a dot (".").

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Revised settings interface: A familiar sidebar layout now gives you access to both Moom's standard functionality and your own custom actions. The general settings are accessible via the gear icon in the settings window's top right corner.
• Moom now lives in your menu bar by default, but it appears in the Dock while its settings are open, making it easier to switch to and from those settings, and giving you access to Moom's own menu bar.
• Moom now supports odd window spacing values — most importantly 1 pt, which is the new default and which mirrors what macOS does when it snaps one window's edge to another window's edge.
• All custom actions can now be renamed.
• Move & resize actions now hang on to their respective configuration grid dimensions individually.
• Manually update move & resize actions with the frontmost window's (relative) frame.
• Manually update resize actions with the frontmost window's size.
• Revert window frame/size changes for resize, move & resize, and layout actions via the File menu.
• App-/window-specific layouts now identify windows more reliably if window titles vary slightly. In addition, all open tabs (in browsers and other tab-supporting apps) are checked for matching titles.
• Visibly detect overlapping windows in a layout's settings, and toggle between including or excluding overlapped windows as needed for each individual layout.
• Restore custom actions you just deleted via "Add Custom Action" → "Recently Deleted".
• Full size grids now respond to both keyboard and mouse input.
• Full size grids now automatically adjust their initial state to whether they were triggered via mouse or keyboard.
• There are now multiple options for where keyboard-induced grids should start: top left display corner, near top left corner of frontmost window, or near mouse.
• Increased the maximum number of columns and rows for grids to 50.
• If a window already spans multiple displays, Moom now confines resizing, growing, and shrinking to the relevant union frame of all of those displays instead of just one display.
• Choose from three different grid/snap outline designs. They're all animated by default, but you can disable that.
• Toned down the "can't Moom" indicator. No more giant red stop sign.
• The keyboard cheat sheet's layout now reflects the Moom settings' layout and sort order (keys on the left, descriptions on the right).
• When multiple actions match the same hot key, Moom now lets you choose. (Chains are now separate folder-like entities, as mentioned further up.)
• Moom now applies window size changes more forcefully, reducing the number of scenarios where you end up with a different window size than what you were going for.
• Moom animates certain kinds of window resizing/moving by default now. You can switch this off in the general settings.
• Improved consistency with regard to raising windows affected by custom actions, as controlled by the "Bring affected windows to front automatically" general setting.
• Improved palette positioning, which is important now that the palette can become positively gargantuan.
• If you're still reading, you probably noticed by now that we renamed custom controls to custom actions, and move & zoom to move & resize.
• Came up with a prettier icon for Moom, or so we like to think.
