Mika+Grid

A lightweight macOS window manager that lives in your menubar.

Get it on the App Store Website GitHub

Snap. Organize. Focus. A lightweight macOS window manager that lives in your menubar. Snap any window to halves, quarters, or a centered layout — with a keystroke or a click. Native Swift and SwiftUI, no Electron, no background service. It sits in the menubar and stays out of your way. Two versions, one difference: Both are the same app. They part ways at exactly one point: how a window gets moved. The direct download moves windows itself, via the Accessibility API; the App Store version asks Apple's Shortcuts app, because App Store apps run in a sandbox and a sandbox has no access to that API. Free, open source under MIT, no account required. No trackers, no analytics. Window positions never leave your Mac.

Features

  • Visual snap grid: Open the menubar popover and click a zone. Each button previews the resulting layout on a miniature monitor.
  • 11 snap actions (direct download only): Halves, all four quarters, maximize, and a centered two-thirds layout for focused work — plus restore.
  • Global hotkeys: Carbon-registered shortcuts that work from any app, without focus stealing. Every binding is reconfigurable.
  • Multi-monitor aware: Snaps to the display the window's center sits on, converting between Accessibility and screen coordinates.
  • Undo any snap (direct download only): The previous frame is remembered per window. One press of ⌃⌥⌫ puts it back exactly where it was.
  • Signed auto-updates (direct download only): Sparkle checks for new versions and verifies every download with an EdDSA signature. Turn it off any time.

Changelog

v1.2.0 2026-09-03 Latest

First release in the Mac App Store. Ten snap layouts on Control-Option, visual grid in the menu bar, all shortcuts re-recordable. That version is sandboxed and moves windows through Apple's Shortcuts app — hence no restore and no network access.

v1.1.1 2026-08-08

Bug fix release — snapping is now reliable on the first trigger. Snap applies position and size in a single trigger, which previously failed in Chromium apps like Chrome, VS Code and Slack. Halves and quarters tile without a seam on scaled displays and notch Macs.

v1.1.0 2026-03-19

Automatic updates through Sparkle, with signature verification. Manual check from the popover and preferences, and it can be switched off.
