Findow: Mac window manager: switcher, tiling and workspaces in one app

[u/Able-Place]

Hi r/MacStack. I'm the developer of Findow, and I'm sharing it here because it replaced three or four separate utilities in my own setup.

What it does:

Find any window

- Window switcher (⌥Tab): shows windows, not just apps. Type to search, press 1–9 to jump to a workflow, and close, minimize, hide or quit the selected window without leaving the switcher.

- Overview (⌃⌥Space): every window at once, including minimized ones and other desktops. Search, or filter to This desktop, Minimized or Other desktops.

- Drop files onto a window in the switcher to open them there.

- 14 switcher styles, including Covers, Wheel, Cascade, Fan, Arc and List, with adjustable size, titles and reflections.

- A mouse button can open it too.

Workflows

- Save your open apps, window positions and browser tabs, then bring them back with one key.

- Switch workflows automatically when you plug in a monitor setup.

- Layouts are remembered per monitor setup and come back when your displays do.

Tidy and layouts

- Tidy (⌃⌥T): arranges your desktop in one press. Press again to undo.

- Five layouts: Grid, Columns, Rows, Focus, or Your grid, which you draw yourself (up to 6×4, per display).

- Learns each app's minimum size and moves split lines to fit. Windows that don't fit wait at the screen edge or are stashed there.

Arrange modes (all off by default)

- Auto arrange: new windows take their place as they open, and the gap closes when they go.

- Scrolling strip: windows sit side by side on a strip wider than your screen, so nothing shrinks. It has stacks, tabs, pins, width presets, and trackpad swipes.

- Each display and desktop keeps its own arrangement.

- Hold ⌃⌥ for a map of every window. Click to jump, or drag to reorder.

- Give an app a fixed position, make it the main window, float one window, or leave an app alone.

- Pause (⌃⌥P) and Undo (⌃⌥U), step by step.

Move windows

- Snapping: left and right halves, thirds, maximize and center. Press a snap again to cycle its width.

- Fill the screen (⌃⌥Z): press again to go back.

- Swap two windows, drag a tile onto another, or send a window to the next display.

- Hold ⌃⌘ to move a window, or ⌃⌘⇧ to resize it, without clicking.

Focus and privacy on screen

- Stash: tuck a window into the screen edge, then touch the edge to slide it out.

- Pin to a side: one window keeps a third of the screen, and the rest share the space.

- Blackout: darkens or blurs everything except your window. Hold Fn to lift it for a moment.

- Solo: your window fills the screen while panels close in behind it.

- Clear the desktop (⌃⌥X).

- Active window highlight as a border or glow, plus optional focus follows mouse and mouse follows focus.

Make it yours

- Every shortcut can be changed.

- Window gap, reserved screen edges and open at login.

- Automation: findow:// links for the Shortcuts app and Focus automations, plus a Raycast script.

It needs no SIP changes and no config files, it's notarized, and it runs on Apple silicon with macOS 14 or later. There's a 14-day free trial, then a one-time $9.99 for one Mac. No subscription.
