Divvy - Window Manager for Mac

Take full command of your Mac windows

Divvy is a window manager for macOS that emphasizes mouse-driven organization. It lets you place and size application windows exactly where you want them — including arranging windows side-by-side and spanning multiple displays — using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.

How the interface works

Divvy provides a configurable grid that you click and drag on to position windows. The default layout is a 4×4 grid, but each cell’s footprint can be changed so you control how much screen space each app receives. That makes it easy to build mixed layouts (for example, one large workspace alongside a couple of smaller panels).

• Adjust the grid cells to create a mix of large and small windows
• Use the drag-and-drop grid to snap windows into place with the mouse
• Arrange windows across more than one monitor when needed
• Position and resize each window to a precise shape and location

Practical layout examples

Because cells are resizable, you can quickly create common layouts without fiddling with exact pixel values. Examples include:

• One main window for primary work plus two compact windows for reference material
• Equal-sized columns for side-by-side comparisons or multitasking
• Fullscreen or near-fullscreen panes across a single or multiple displays

Speed and target users

Divvy favors simplicity over heavy keyboard shortcuts. For users who prefer clicking and visual placement, it’s extremely straightforward. Power users who rely on rapid keyboard-driven workflows may prefer more keyboard-centric tools, which can sometimes be faster for repetitive, time-critical tasks. Still, for most everyday users and many professionals, Divvy’s combination of features and ease of use places it among the better choices for window management on macOS.

Alternatives to consider

• SizeUp — a keyboard-first option for faster, shortcut-based tiling
• Magnet, Mosaic, or Amethyst — other good tools with different balances of automation and control

If you want a mouse-focused, simple way to arrange windows without learning lots of shortcuts, Divvy is worth trying.
