ShiftIt is an application for OSX that allows you to quickly manipulate window position and size using keyboard shortcuts. It intends to become a full featured window organizer for OSX. It is a complete rewrite of the original ShiftIt by Aravindkumar Rajendiran which is not longer under development. Please note, because the binary is not signed, you'll have to "right click" on the application, click "Open", and subsequently click "Open" in the dialog that appears. You only have to do this the first time you launch the newly-downloaded application. ShiftIt installs itself in the menu bar (optionally it can be completely hidden). It provides a set of actions that manipulates windows positions and sizes. Normally, all Cocoa windows and X11 windows are supported. Some applications might not work correctly or not at all.

Features

  • The primary development is done on OSX 10.10, but it should be running under OSX 10.7 as well
  • OSX 10.7+, 64-bit required
  • ShiftIt is based on a Cocoa Accessibility API
  • To build ShiftIt locally just clone the repository or get the latest snapshot
  • A binary build for OSX 10.7+ is available in releases.
  • Manage window size and position in OSX
