Window Tidy overview

Note: As from January 2017, Window Tidy has been officially retired to make way for a next-generation version called Mosaic. Window Tidy will still receive support for the forseable future with critical updates and bug fixes only.

Window Tidy lets you take control of all your applications. How many times have you had to keep switching between documents when you wished you could just see them all at the same time? The process of dragging and resizing these windows manually is very fiddly and time consuming. And then when you're done, you've got to move them all back!

Features
  • Take Control of your Desktop - Arrange your application windows using nothing but drag-and-drop! There are no hot-keys to remember or menus to click, just drag-anddrop a window onto layout icon and it will instantly snap to that layout.
  • Highly Customizable - The behavior and appearance of Window Tidy are highly customizable to streamline your individual workflow. You can create any number of layouts, each with its own grid size.
  • Quick Layout - If you want to apply a custom layout to a window you can use Quick Layout to quickly drag the grid area you want the active window to occupy, and when you release the mouse button, the layout is applied.
  • Multiple Monitors - Windows can be moved onto a new monitor and have a layout applied in one simple drag-and-drop movement. If a window is lost on another screen, one click will send it immediately to the current screen.
  • Configure the Option key ⌥ to either show / hide the layout icons whilst dragging
  • Assign keyboard shortcuts for individual layouts
  • Intuitive interface seamlessly integrates with OSX
  • Layouts can be added, removed and customized
  • Specify the look and position of the pop-up layout icons
  • Quick Layout option for applying a new layout without adding it to the list
  • Independent grid size for each layout
  • Elegant multiple monitor support
  • Take a screenshot of any window
  • Menu option to move the active window to the current screen

2.1.x of Window Tidy is an excellent window organizing and docking app, which is what my star rating is based on. HOWEVER, the developer has just transitioned the app to a new version and name ("Mosaic") which appears to include a monthly subscription fee. I say "appears" because nowhere on their website, their literature, etc. are any details on cost or subscription prices shown. There are only links to download a free 7 day trial, within which the user still cannot get any additional information without signing in with a user account (I refuse to). Why are they hiding the costs of this new version???

Dear MacUpdate: According to the developers web site http://www.lightpillar.com/window-tidy.html the application is now at version 2..1.2 and requires Mac OS 10.9. Now I;m not sure why i have a paid subscription with MacUpdate when the information MacUpdate can not be relied upon.
