Spectacle
Spectacle is a lightweight window management utility for macOS that allows users to quickly resize and position application windows using keyboard shortcuts. It provides a simple way to snap windows to halves, thirds, quarters, and other common screen positions without needing to manually drag windows around. The app is particularly useful for power users and developers who work with multiple applications simultaneously and want to organize their workspace efficiently. Spectacle offers customizable hotkeys and works seamlessly with multi-monitor setups, making it a favorite among productivity-focused Mac users.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionSpectacle appears to be abandoned — version 1.2 was released in 2016 and there is no native Apple Silicon version. The app remains Intel-only and the developer has shown no signs of active maintenance. We recommend switching to Rectangle, a modern, actively maintained, open-source window management utility that is fully native to Apple Silicon and provides the same core functionality as Spectacle with additional features. Rectangle is free, regularly updated, and offers all the window snapping and keyboard shortcut capabilities that Spectacle users rely on, plus better support for modern macOS versions and Apple Silicon Macs.
