LayAuto

LayAuto is a handy macOS app that helps you keep your desktop tidy, especially if you're juggling a bunch of apps at once. We all know how messy it can get with so many windows open! But with LayAuto, you can easily resize and zoom windows without lifting a finger.

Automatic Window Management

This app works its magic by using layout rules that you can set up in the Preferences window. You decide how you want your windows organized for the apps you use most often. It’s like having a personal assistant for your desktop!

Control Your Windows Manually

If you're someone who likes to have control, LayAuto has got your back! You can move any app's windows around quickly using global keyboard shortcuts. And guess what? You can customize these shortcuts to fit your style.

Getting Started with LayAuto

When you first open LayAuto, it'll ask for permission to control your Mac. Just go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility, and check the box for LayAuto. Easy peasy!

Layout Profiles Made Easy

After you've set everything up, you'll notice LayAuto has a status bar menu where you can change the layout for the current window whenever you need to. Plus, creating complex window layouts is super simple through the Layouts preferences tab.

Your Shortcuts, Your Way

You can quickly activate those layout profiles either by hitting the global keyboard shortcut or just clicking on it from LayAuto's status bar menu—totally up to you!

Startup Options and More Settings

If you'd like LayAuto to launch automatically every time you start your Mac, just check that option in the General preferences tab. You also have the choice to hide its status bar item while still having easy access to its Preferences when needed.

Customize Hotkeys and Toggle Features

The Hotkeys preferences tab lets you tweak shortcuts like “Layout Current Window,” “Layout All,” and others so they fit perfectly into how you work. And if manual control is more your thing, don’t worry—you can toggle off the auto layout feature anytime!

A Must-Have App for Every Mac User

In short, LayAuto is an awesome tool for anyone looking to arrange their Mac's desktop effortlessly. Whether you're working with multiple monitors or just trying to keep things organized on one screen, this app makes it all super easy!
