    Many Tricks
Moom allows you to move and zoom windows -- using either the mouse or the keyboard -- to predefined locations and sizes, or to full screen mode.

When used via the mouse, all you need to do is hover over a green resize button, and Moom's interface appears. When used via the keyboard, press your defined shortcut, and the Moom keyboard bezel appears; you can then move windows using the arrow keys and modifier keys.

Moom can be run as a traditional application, a menu bar application, or a completely faceless background application.
What's New
Version 2.4.1:
  • Added a visual indicator for shortcuts created using keys on the numeric keypad. (Hat tip to Darren C. for the suggestion.)
  • Moom now automatically adjusts the grid orientation on portrait-oriented monitpors.
  • Fixed an issue related to Moom hot keys and Butler, Teleport, and Synergy.
  • Moom is now smarter about moving to the most-logical display in certain multi-display arrangements. (Hat tip to Nicholas R. for the suggestion.)
  • Saved snapshots are activated after a slight delay when switching monitors, to allow apps like iChat time to reconnect.
  • Changed how Moom calculates window sizes when moving between displays. (Hat tip to Christopher S. for the suggestion.)
  • Moom now works better with tablets in Lion.
  • Fixed an issue caused by a Lion bug that only manifests itself in virtual Lion installations.

Would love for Moom to add the feature to minimize to TitleBar.

I need to rearrange windows in my daily work very often and I want to have them arranged in very special ways (i. e. with a size of 1/6 of my screen, at the right bottom corner of the screen). Moom is the only application that I know allows to do that (others allow only a size of 1/4 of the screen which I don't like so much). I think Moom is great!

I'm glad I only tested this app. This app has serious issues need to be addressed:
- To resize a window using keyboard I have to press a shortcut to activate moom and then I can finally use my shortcut to resize the window or move it. This is completely useless. A window manager is meant to be quick and easy to use !!
- There are several bugs if you move between several screens while the moom is activated using the keyboard shortcut. As for one the setting window won't ever show again unless i close the app and open it again.

It could be a really good app if you spend more attention to the usability.

I think you need to get into the prefs and configure Moom as I have a bunch of key combinations I set up to configure all kinds of window layouts and I never have to go to the menu ever. I even set the pref in Moom to never show the dock icon or menubar icon. EXCELLENT APP.

Sorry, I looked at all prefs and couldn't find how to get rid of the shortcut that activates moom, and if it's that hard to find such a functionality then for sure there is more work to be done for this app. But anyway luckily I found "BetterTouchTool" app and it's for sure the best I've tested so far.

This app is so simple and elegant in its UI, it defies logic. I think this functionality should have been built in by Apple but these developers have done a wonderful job!

Neat program. Divvy and Right Zoom in one. I tried it and immediately purchased it.

Nice app, it should be OS X integrated, unfortunately I think CPU use is a little too high for such small app.

I used to use both Divvy and Breeze to keep my windows where I needed them. I ignored Moom 1.0 since it didn't have much of a feature set, but with the new grid, custom controls, and layout memorization in 2.1, I now only need Moom. It's very light on resources, much more elegant, more powerful, and a better value! Nothing bad to say here.

I used to use Right Zoom but it stopped working for me when I moved to Intel/SL. I downloaded the trial of Moom (thank you developer!) and within five seconds I knew that I wouldn't be parting with this app anytime soon. It does exactly what I need it do very simply, and it has the ability to much more of your choosing with user configurable shortcuts.

CONGRATULATIONS for providing a try before you buy version.

Five bucks is not a huge fortune however why spend five bucks if it's not the application i want.

So, THANK YOU for the try before you buy.

Clarusad had trouble on 03 Apr 2011
Since first version, ther's still a important bug with version 1.1.
After a while, windowServer process go crazy and the computer become unusable. For everything returns to normal, ther's two solutions : either trying to force Moom process out with Activity Monitor or force to reboot the computer with power button !!!

Moom promises to be a great application : very good integration, being "mac OS friendly" and with a natural use. But it won't be as long as the developer won't fix this important bug.
