A window manager that lives in the Mac menu bar. Drag a window towards the top of the screen,
a zone palette grows out of the edge, and dropping the window over a zone snaps it there.
Drag to a zone
Halves, thirds, two-thirds and one-third, and a 2×2 grid. The palette appears during the
drag and goes away when you let go.
The zone under the pointer is marked while you move, so you can see where the window will
land before you release it. Release outside every zone and nothing moves.
Keyboard shortcuts
Control-Option-Left and Control-Option-Right place the focused window in the left or right
half. Control-Option-Up fills the visible area of the screen, without entering full screen.
The same three layouts are in the menu bar menu, with their shortcuts next to them.
Out of the way
Yta has no Dock icon and no window of its own. It is the menu bar symbol and the palette
during a drag, and nothing else.
It can open when you log in. Windows are placed on the screen they are already on, inside
the visible area, so the menu bar and the Dock keep their space.
Why it needs permission
macOS has no public interface for moving another app's window. Yta uses the system's
accessibility interface instead, and asks for permission under System Settings →
Privacy & Security → Accessibility the first time it runs.
It reads and writes the position and size of the focused window in the moment. It stores
nothing about your windows and has no network connection.
The top edge is shared
macOS has its own gestures at the same edge: tiling by dragging to the screen edges, and
Mission Control opening when a window is dragged to the top. They take over before the zone
palette can be reached.
Turn both off under System Settings → Desktop & Dock to give the palette that
edge. The keyboard shortcuts work either way.
