Features

Everything your workflow needs.

GridSutra brings professional window management to macOS without complexity. Every feature is built around speed.

Customizable Grid Layouts

Build layouts up to 10×10 on any grid size. Snap windows to halves, thirds, corners, or any custom configuration you define. Your layout, your rules.

Window Launcher

View, switch between, and assign layouts to all open windows from one unified panel. No more hunting across spaces.

Global Keyboard Shortcuts

Assign any key combination to any layout. Trigger arrangements without leaving your keyboard — complete layout changes in under a second.

Multi-Monitor Support

Designed from the ground up for multi-display setups. Snap and arrange windows independently across all connected screens.

Application Ignore List

Some apps should never be included in layout operations. Exclude specific applications so they stay exactly where you put them.

How It Works

Up and running in minutes.

GridSutra is built for speed. Install it, set your layouts, and never think about window positioning again.

1

Open the Launcher

Click the GridSutra icon in your menu bar. The Launcher opens instantly showing all your available window layouts as visual previews.

2

Choose a Layout

Select any predefined layout or one you have created. GridSutra immediately snaps all your open windows into position.

3

Assign Shortcuts

Save your favourite layouts to keyboard shortcuts. From that point forward, one key combination rearranges your entire desktop.

4

Build Custom Layouts

Use the visual grid editor to design layouts that match your exact workflow. Save, name, and reuse them across sessions.
