How it works

  1. 1

    Press a shortcut

    Nine hotkeys — halves, thirds, two-thirds, full screen, or over to the next display.

  2. 2

    Your screen is measured

    A script asks macOS how big the display actually is.

  3. 3

    Whatever you are working in resizes and moves into that position.
