    I've built similar functionality using Hammerspoon, configuration described at http://simonduff.net/hammerspoon/

    However, I normally find myself lazy, and normally end up using the trackpad to drag windows to corners and edges to resize (also built with Hammerspoon)

      Interestingly enough, AppGrid started out as my custom Slate configuration. But I know there’s something to be said for the convenience of not having to configure anything, and having an app Just Work[tm]. Even after I created Zephyros and Hydra and Mjolnor, I always come back to just using AppGrid for its simplicity.

      Oh wow, I've just realised your that Steven Degutis, author of Mjolnir, of which Hammerspoon is based!!!

      Any reason you've built a stand-alone app for this, given Mjolnir (and Hammerspoon) can do this pretty easily?

    I'm a very happy spectacle user myself, and find it more than sufficient for me, I am wondering what are the use cases for more than 2x2 grid. I can see aligning 80x25 terminals edge to edge a very neat layout, but that's stacking AFAIK, not grid. When using grid, it would just resize them to grid and desirable 80x25 sizes would break. And apart of seeing a lot of terminals at once in alignment what are other useful work layouts for you?

    Thanks to everyone who encouraged me yesterday to polish this app and submit it. It may not be a big app, but I've used it every time I'm at my computer for probably the past 5 years straight. Hope some of you find it useful too!

    For anyone using Windows with vertical monitors, I made something in AutoHotKey that helps snap windows to top/bottom half or third of the screen. This is useful if you regularly use Win+Left/Right key to snap windows to the left/right screen on landscape monitors but miss the feature on portrait monitors.

    I use spectacle myself (https://github.com/eczarny/spectacle)

      The main difference is that AppGrid allows slightly more flexibility (Spectacle can be considered a 2x2 grid in AppGrid) but without having to learn a disproportionate amount of keyboard hotkeys.

    >Keys default to Mash (cmd + ctrl + opt)

    I'm an emacs guy, not a vim guy: what does this mean?

    • nathyong 2246 days ago
      By default the key bindings are cmd+ctrl+opt+{h,j,k,l} to move windows around left/down/up/right respectively.

        Why is that called Mash?
