Do you have a hard time keeping your Mac windows where you want them? Sick of manually adjusting the ever-changing Tetris puzzle of your OS X desktop? Think the green + button at the top left of every Mac window is beyond useless at intelligently resizing an app?
You’re not alone. You want to download Windownaut, a new app that supercharges that green + button to allow you to quickly and easily snap your windows to any location you want on your Mac’s display.
Created by Binary Baker, the same devs behind the great app Menupop, Windownaut’s biggest feature is that it allows you to right click on the green window control button in any OS X app to see an overlay of eight possible window positions: top right half, left half of the screen, bottom half of the screen, etc.
That’s not all. Each of these positions can have a separate keyboard shortcut assigned to them, so that power users never even have to move their hands from the keyboard to arrange their windows. Easy!
In addition, Windownaut allows you to easily snap a window into any of eight positions just by dragging it to the edge of your screen. Dragging a window to the far left, for example, would resize the window to take over the left half of your screen, while dragging it to the top right corner would resize it just to fit the top right quarter of your display.
But it gets cooler. You can even use Windownaut to redefine the behavior of each of the windows control buttons. For example, you can redefine the minimize button so that right clicking on it will show you the location of whatever document you have open in that app in Finder.
I’ve been playing with Windownaut all morning, and I don’t think it’s going to be leaving my Mac’s startup list anytime soon.
Windownaut costs $4.99 through the developer. There’s a 14-day trial available. You can grab it at the link below.
