Breeze overview

Breeze gives you simple window management on Mac OS X through a concept called "window states".

When you save a window state, Breeze remembers the relative size and position of the focused window.

At any point, you can apply that state (size and position) like a template to any other focused window.

Breeze comes with some handy default window states for Fullscreen and Splitscreen Left or Right.

Is Breeze abandonware? There's neither a contact link nor an email address on their website. Here, then, for anybody who's been wondering about it is a direct d/l link for the (got absolutely no idea why it's a secret) 64 bit version: http://autumnapps.com/downloads/Breeze1.5.13.zip

Breeze is invaluable, but the update schedule (if it exists) is obscure. See comments below by artie505 . . . If you're looking for the latest version of Breeze, see the dev's directory, here: http://autumnapps.com/downloads/ As I write, the latest version # is 1.6, which installs & seems to run on OSX 10.10.5 just fine (haven't tried it on macOS).

How does this compare with Stay (https://cordlessdog.com/stay/)? Stay has been a huge help, but sometimes a bit quirky. It would be interesting to know if this really compares.

Although it says that v1.5.12 is the latest version as of 1-25-19, you get v1.5.11. I now have v1.5.13 via link from artie505 below. What is the Dev's problem?

I love this app, but it is being flagged as 32 bit only. I wrote to the author regarding whether a 64 bit update is in the works, but never got a response.

Breeze is exactly what I'm looking for… BUT: It seems not to work with multiple displays which is a deal breaker for me. If this would work I'd buy it immediately – and give 5 stars.

Best thing since sliced bread. Since Yosemite when my MacPro E2008 feeding a Radeon HD7950 and Samsung HD 28" monitor wakes up from screensaver, windows revert to a generic shape. Breeze sorts that out in an instant Simple app. simple keypress and no more hassel. Live long and prosper.

This is precisely the application I needed to fix up the precise positioning of windows. As you all know, from time to time, windows decide to wander around the desktop(s) whether on the main computer or on the additional displays I use. I don't know about you but I spend far too much time moving windows where I need them to be. Simple and perfect application. Ready to act at the touch of a couple of keys. Well done Daniel and thank you for making my day today. Daniel.

I'm now updating my review with a higher score since I screwed up and didn't read the Help file enough to see how to change the shortcuts.

Breeze is great, but suffers a huge flaw where you can't turn off or change the keyboard shortcuts or simply disable it for certain applications. Currently, Breeze conflicts with a keyboard shortcut I use in Windows 7 in Parallels and it makes the Parallels Window go full screen and screw up my work. AFIAK, there's no way to disable Breeze for Parallels so there's no longer a conflict. This lack of options is a glaring omission from an otherwise great product.

I can't believe I haven't mentioned what a fantastic window management system this really is. I know it's brilliant mostly because I've never bothered to look for an alternative yet. There's only one thing I'm not too keen on and it's mostly to do with me memorising a whole bunch of keyboard shortcuts. So what I do, is I tend to have no more than a handful of window positions layered over each other, and because I also have HyperDock it allows me to hover over what's underneath, so to speak. A thought has just occurred to me. How hard would it be for a software developer to be able to prosecute an action through a snippet rather than a keyboard shortcut?

I wish Breeze also had the features of Cinch or Cinch had the added features of Breeze. I'm running both at the same time and they complement each other perfectly, but I wish I could run just one to save system resources and money. What this would mean for Breeze is you could have the option of moving the window to the left to splitscreen left, etc.. It would be great to have the option to move the window to the top and having your own custom size be triggered instead of fullscreen being your only option. I use keyboard shortcuts, but I often prefer to move the window instead as well. It helps to prevent RSI if you randomize things a bit. This is by far more advanced than Cinch since Cinch isn't application specific, etc., but I also think the features of Cinch would perfectly compliment Breeze and make it a much more complete, yet still simple/streamlined window manager app.

I have licenses for MercuryMover, Zooom2, and Breeze. I use Breeze many, many more times that the other two. I have a set of global window sizes and then one or two custom window sizes per application. The global: Safari size (room for a QuicKeys toolbar and dock on the right, Graphic size (full width with room for dock on the right, Left (half width), Right (half-width), and Centered text edit size (1/3 width). I use ⇧⌃⌥ r, l, c, t, s, g for the global shortcuts. I use option 1 or 2 for the application shortcuts. These take care of over 90 percent of my window needs.

The specific saving state is great and that is exactly what i'm looking for. Unfortunately, i have no free space anymore in my tool bar to go for Breeze (as often). Regarding this, apart from simply transferring the menu bar icon functionality to a dock icon (not really fan of this), if Breeze for its main menu could totally operate by the way of shortcuts or at least a simple pop up bezel window on demand, it would be perfect. Soon further more, the need for a status pane should arise as you locally manipulate more and more specific application windows. But this is another story...

This app is awesome. It totally provides something that OS X (or Finder I guess) is missing. That stupid green button never does what you want. This app lets you specify all your favourite window sizes and map them to hot keys. They give a few samples and its easy add more. Plus app specific settings. It's only 8 bucks so how many features do people expect. I love it.
