Moom 4.6

August 19, 2026

New Features

• In addition to picking live windows based on the respective best matches in the saved layout or based on frontmost window order (formerly known as "any windows"), Moom can now also assign windows to spots in a saved layout based on either proximity among the appropriate number of frontmost windows, or proximity alone. (Hat tip to Brian N.)

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Layouts that are configured to apply only to windows on the active display now skip hidden apps and minimized windows. (If this is a problem for you, ask us about the Terminal command that reverts this change.)
• Worked around a macOS issue where layouts didn't position hidden apps' windows correctly. (Hat tip to Anton F.)
• Improved window matching logic for app-specific layouts.
• Updated the palette's optional custom actions icon on macOS 11 and newer to match the more abstract user icon Apple uses elsewhere.

Moom 4.5.1

June 30, 2026

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Prepared Moom for the upcoming macOS 27 and its retro-modern look.
• Using a layout no longer hides apps on inactive spaces. (Hat tip to Andreas H.)
• Fixed a layout issue with windows that have no title attribute, as seen in cmux, for example. (Hat tip to Edward T.)
• Improved compatibility with Bartender's Top Shelf feature. (Hat tip to Robert H.)
• Decreased the likelihood of inconsistent window ordering when using layouts on newer macOS versions. (Hat tip to Joel C.)
• Fixed a cosmetic issue where the demo shown while changing the action chooser size didn't animate smoothly while Stage Manager was enabled.
• Improved debug logging on newer macOS versions, which redact log messages to an extent where using logging to look into issues experienced by users becomes all but useless. (We do understand why Apple does this. That's why our unredacted logging has to be enabled temporarily by the user, and it's purely ephemeral. You can see, copy, or manually save the relevant info in Moom's own log window while debug logging is enabled, but outside of that, none of the extra info is getting archived or sent anywhere. The log files, as seen in Console, will have the usual redacted messages.)

Moom 4.5

April 29, 2026

New Features

• Applying a layout can now optionally hide any apps that aren't part of the layout.
• On macOS 13 and newer, there is now a general setting that makes Moom leave room for Stage Manager's sidebar. In other words, with the setting enabled, Moom will subtract the Stage Manager sidebar from a given display's usable area, just like the menu bar and Dock are subtracted. Note, though, that if Stage Manager is currently invisible, Moom will assume that that's what you want and act as if Stage Manager weren't enabled.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Updated the action chooser's look for macOS 26.
• Worked around two inconsistencies in how macOS 26 draws pop-up buttons.
• On macOS 13 and newer, Moom now uses a more modern mechanism to add or remove itself from your login items as you check or uncheck its corresponding setting. (This is a behind-the-scenes change that ideally won't be noticeable.)
• On macOS 26 and newer, Moom no longer offers to treat drawers as part of their parent windows for positioning purposes. macOS 26 broke the underlying functionality, but thankfully, that's not too much of a problem, since barely any apps use drawers anymore.

Moom 4.4.2

February 17, 2026

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Reverted a change in Moom 4.4.1 where system wake and return from the lock screen were always treated the same as display configuration changes in terms of auto-applying layouts. This is an action-level setting instead now, where you can check "Also apply on system wake and unlock" for a given layout if you want this behavior. Apologies for the back and forth!
• Moom now reacts to display configuration changes more quickly when auto-applying layouts.
• Fixed a bug where, depending on your palette settings, folder pop-up menus in the palette vanished as you were browsing them. (Hat tip to Thierry P.)
• Fixed a bug where the time for which drop zones remain on screen without any mouse movement depended on an unrelated setting.

Moom 4.4.1

December 16, 2025

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Improved the built-in updater. It will identify paid upgrades more clearly going forward, and perhaps even more importantly, you can now also downdate (i.e., revert) to your last fully-licensed version if you're running a newer version in demo mode.
• Improved the logic for restoring layouts when the Mac wakes up from sleep or returns from the lock screen. (Hat tip to Ian C.)
• Adapted to macOS 26's design language some more. For example, all main menu items have icons now on macOS 26, and the action icons we've always had are slightly smaller now on macOS 26 to better match the system's own menu item look.
• Improved compatibility with Keystrokes Pro. (Hat tip to Kazuto N.)
• Fixed a graphics glitch that occurred when renaming actions on pre-26 macOS versions.

Moom 4.4

November 11, 2025

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Adjusted the settings window and its various controls to macOS 26's new look. This required a lot of small changes that all apply conditionally, depending on which macOS version Moom is running on. (At the risk of editorializing a little: Regardless of how much anyone likes said new look, we think there's value in native apps at least making an honest attempt at being consistent with the system and its bundled apps.)
• Improved window highlighting on macOS 26. The highlight now matches the highlighted window's radius (which can vary depending on factors such as whether the window has a toolbar), at least for apps that interpret macOS 26's fondness of concentric circles correctly.
• Fixed a rare issue where tiny windows made Moom crash. (Hat tip to Andreas S.)
• Improved the settings window's accessibility support.
• Moom's app icon now supports macOS 26's light, dark, and clear/tinted app icon looks.
• Adapted to a change in Google Chrome, which affected window matching for layouts.
• Worked around Cluely's invisible overlay window. (Hat tip to pkubigjoe on Discord.)
• Worked around an issue where weird things happened on macOS 26 when launching Moom by opening a *.moom file.

Moom 4.3

August 29, 2025

New Features

• Generic "any windows" layouts can now optionally apply only to the display hosting the active window. (Hat tip to Jason N.)
• Move to edge or corner actions can now optionally center windows on your edge of choice instead of merely moving the window towards that edge. Click the corresponding radio button repeatedly to toggle between those two options. (Hat tip to Eduard R.)
• When accessing actions via the custom action chooser, you can now cycle through the currently displayed list of actions by repeating the hot key you used to bring up the chooser. (Hat tip to Philip.)
• Added a "list of actions" AppleScript command. (Hat tip to DarthMac and sepulchra on Discord.)

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Custom move & resize actions now adhere to the "Dismiss After Other" keyboard controls dismissal setting, rather than the "Dismiss After Filling" one. (Hat tip to slava on Discord.)
• Fixed a bug where assigning Moom to a specific space made Moom unusable on other spaces. (Hat tip to Christopher H.)
• Worked around an issue where Stage Manager messes with Z-axis window ordering. (Hat tip to Kirk M.)
• Worked around a bug in Spotify, where Spotify randomly crashed while Moom was running. (Hat tip to Alex P.)
• Improved compatibility with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, where restoring layouts became less reliable as a result of recent Chromium changes. (Hat tip to Patrice B.)
• Improved compatibility with DEVONthink and Microsoft Teams, where Moom was confused by windows that incorrectly identify as movable by the user. (Hat tip to Father M and Nicholas R.)
• Improved compatibility with MacWhisper. (Hat tip to Warren S and Brett T.)
• Improved HJKL keyboard navigation. (Hat tip to Changyong P.)

Moom 4.2

May 13, 2025

New Features

• Moom's saved layouts can now launch apps and open a single window in each app when you activate the saved layout. Pair it with macOS's default behavior of reopening documents, however, and launching a saved layout can now open the apps in the layout and all the documents you had open in those layouts (assuming they were open when you quit the apps).
• You can now right- or long-click layouts in the palette for a menu with individual move & resize actions that will give you access to the individual window positions in a given layout. Chains grant access to their children the same way.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Improved window matching logic when restoring layouts.
• Auto-triggered layouts now also trigger when the Mac awakes from sleep (assuming the current display configuration matches a given layout's auto-trigger criterion).
• Moom can now work with GNU Emacs windows set in undecorated non-rounded mode. (Hat tip to JM for the suggestion.)
• Fixed a bug when reverting a moomed window that was then snapped and unsnapped. (Hat tip to Piotr K. for reporting this one.)
• Moom's trial limit is now 200 uses, to account for the expanded feature set in Moom 4.

Moom 4.1.3

November 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

September 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

September 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

August 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

August 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

August 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.
• 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. 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.)
• 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.

Moom 3.2.30
