Swift Shift
Move and resize windows with keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures.
It provides keyboard shortcuts and mouse‑button gestures to move and resize macOS windows, eliminating the need to click tiny title bars or arrows. Users can configure shortcuts that include mouse buttons, and the app supports a “Quadrants” mode where resizing starts from the edge or corner nearest the cursor, while the default behavior resizes from the bottom‑right corner.
The utility runs in the background after a one‑time launch, with optional login‑time start and the ability to hide its menu‑bar icon. It is designed for people who want a fast, persistent way to organize their workspace without relying on built‑in macOS window controls.
The project is open source, freely available, and maintained by a community that contributes code, reports issues, and suggests improvements. Its simplicity and reliance on standard macOS APIs make it a lightweight addition for users seeking more direct window management.
