Arrange, resize, and move Mac windows using shortcuts, screen-edge snapping, and tiling actions.
What you can do with Rectangle
Snap windows into layouts by dragging them to screen edges and corners.
Good to know
Subject to the application's window-size restrictions.
Wrong?
Move windows to the next or previous display.
Good to know
Requires multiple displays; does not move windows between Spaces.
Wrong?
Tile or cascade multiple windows with one action.
Good to know
Subject to the application's window-size restrictions.
Wrong?
Trigger window actions and app exclusions through Rectangle URLs.
Good to know
Rectangle must be running to handle its URL scheme.
Wrong?
Disable Rectangle shortcuts while a chosen app is frontmost.
Good to know
Shortcuts are registered again when the ignored app loses focus.
Wrong?
Transfer preferences and shortcuts between Macs using a JSON configuration.
Good to know
Startup imports are consumed once and renamed with a timestamp.
Wrong?
Customize gaps, snap areas, repeated commands, and title-bar actions.
Good to know
Restart Rectangle after changing hidden preferences.
Wrong?
Show all 15
Reserve a sidebar for a chosen Todo window.
Good to know
Requires configuring Todo mode.
Wrong?
Arrange windows across a combined display area.
Good to know
Requires multiple displays and macOS “Displays have separate Spaces” disabled.
Wrong?
Maximize and restore a window by clicking its green button.
Good to know
Opt-in; modifier-key clicks retain native behavior.
Wrong?
Bring forward a window hidden behind others in the same layout position.
Good to know
Stacks share a position or configured overlap offset; the same-size filter allows 24 points of size variation.
Wrong?
Arrange the current display's windows into balanced rows or columns and cycle grid layouts.
Good to know
Current Space only; app size constraints can cause gaps, overlap, or partial layouts. Rearrangement requires another action.
Wrong?
Preview a snap destination with a blurred footprint.
Good to know
Off by default; use v2.0.2 or later to avoid the crash on macOS below 26.
Wrong?
Animate window snapping and restore transitions.
Good to know
Off by default; experimental, with possible edge cases and jumps when dragging from the far right of a title bar.
Wrong?
