MacShortcutsYour workspace, arranged.

Try a layout. These are the four default shortcuts.

Preview: left half

Quietly useful.

Less arranging.
More doing.

Native to your Mac. Tucked into the menu bar. Simple by default, with more when you need it.

A place for every window

Halves, quarters, thirds, and more. Maximize without entering full screen, then restore your original position.

Across screens & desktops

Send a window to another display or macOS desktop. Keep your work organized without reaching for the mouse.

Your keys. Your workflow.

Customize shortcuts, launch apps and Chrome profiles, or save a window arrangement as a workspace.

Desktop moves depend on macOS and Mission Control settings. On newer macOS versions, moving a window may take you to its destination desktop.

One quick setup.

Make yourself
at home.

No account. No subscription. Just a download and one macOS permission.

  1. Move it to Applications

    Download and open the MacShortcuts disk image. Drag MacShortcuts.app onto the Applications icon, then eject the disk image and open MacShortcuts from Applications. Confirm Open if macOS asks. Using the ZIP instead? Unzip it and move the app to Applications.

  2. Allow Accessibility

    Follow the app’s setup window to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. Turn on MacShortcuts so it can move and resize windows.

    Screen Recording, Input Monitoring, and Full Disk Access are not required. If permission looks enabled but isn’t working, use Set Up Permissions → Reset Permission in the app, then enable it again.

  3. Find your flow

    Focus a window and try ⌃ ⌥ ←. Open the MacShortcuts menu-bar icon for Settings and more commands. All shortcuts are yours to change.

Your workspace stays yours.

Local by design.

MacShortcuts stores your settings on your Mac. It has no analytics, ads, or account system. Accessibility is used to work with windows—not to record your screen.

Update checks are optional. The app can contact a release service when you check for updates; it never downloads or installs an update automatically. This website uses no analytics or tracking cookies. Cloudflare serves the site and downloads and may process standard request information, such as your IP address.
