Moom Reviews3.2.17

Usually I am not a fan of very simple Apps, but this one was a long time coming. I didn’t think having the ability to click to place windows precisely without overlapping wouldn’t be worth the price, but after the trial, I realized that the time savings alone would pay itself off in a matter of months. As a power user that focuses on true productivity gains, this app has made it to my recommended apps list for the increased speed of windows placement, along with Alfred, DefaultFolderX, Hazel, Fantastical, 1Password, TotalFinder and others that are among the first to be installed on a new machine. The amount of customization users can do is great, and the stability is rock solid. I can only think of one more thing this niche program could do to be better: add workflow sets to attach to program window sets (kind of like the terminal can). So in features I give it 4.5 Stars (the rating on MU seems to be jumpy and stick). Bottom line is, it is worth it to me and other people who like tidy screens & increased efficiency. Since it is free to try, don’t just take my word for it: try it yourself. If you do not find it invaluable in saving time that would otherwise be spent positioning windows, then just delete it, and hopefully Hazel will clean up any old prefs it left behind.

Being able to define your own shortcuts and adjust the raster size, that's what I needed and Moom covers this like a champ.

First utility I install when setting up a Mac, I dread the thought of a world without Moom.

It works in Catalina now.

I tested Moom on my Macbook Pro 13 mid-2012 ... during all the test the Moom application was fast and I did not notice any heavy process or Ram. Moom is a must-have window manager on the Mac. Despite the recent patent troll forcing the developer to resort to a tentative workaround, it is still the only window manager that gives me an option to precisely define each resizing option. Other similar apps might do a lot of what Moom does, but a small number of the additional features that only Moom offers matter a lot in my workflow, and for that, I'm more than happy to pay for MULTIPLE licenses to support this developer. The overall benefit of the app and the quality of the app far overweighs the recent unfortunate patent trolling. Keep up with good works! The design is really great ... I highly recommend Moom for Mac OSx users and I give 5 star to this application

Nice App) I like it

Great app but it's a shame that they had to redesign the grid thingy. I don't fancy the new hexagon style at all, but I understand it had to be done because of crappy patent troll.

Really Nice & simple app ! It's a must have. It would be a five starred app for me if we could force windows to stay on the front to the others as an option to their resizing (like a-float does as a menu option).

Very very nice application. Things becomes extreme convenient to have the tool.

Easy to use and very convenient to have. Great for accessing your desktop while on the Internet.

Been using this for a couple of years now. It's like a part of the OS for me.

One of my absolutely most favorite utility apps.

I'm very picky when it comes to window management. I need it a lot, but having the right app is hard. Moom fits my personal style of working with windows the most. I'd like to have more control over snapshots of multiple windows though. I can either set a window position and then make any window fit that saved position, or I can make snapshots, taking every open window into account. I'd like a middle ground where I can say to only save the position of THESE particular apps.

Also, the configuration dialog is a little clunky. But functional. It works well. It could be just a little easier and less daunting to look at. Cosmetics.

Other than that Moom is fast, stable, and helps a lot. My favorite app in this field!

The window buttons in Yosemite behave the opposite of logical. I found myself accidently resizing to full screen instead of resizing to fit the screen. Big difference. Thankfully Moom saved the day. They have a very long trial period as well. I think I used it for three months before it said I had to buy it.

Totally indispensable! Simply the best! PERFECT!

The best implemented and least obtrusive window management utility for the Mac. Period. Others are good. Moom is great.

I've been using Moom for several years now. I basically cannot use a Mac without it. I don't really use the advanced layout features, just the ability to put things side by side, or in quarters or thirds. Simplicity really is bliss. This is one of the few programs I recommend to friends and colleagues.

Long-time Moom user and it's spoiled me. Hotkeys make auto moving, centering, and resizing a snap. Brings order to my windows. Great app, highly recommend.

Am wondering if Moom is ML 10.8 compatible? Some strange window behaviours, including windows stretching way beyond normal bounds (eg window with 2 columns of files, when hover over green button, window zooms to right to expand window to accommodate 3 or sometimes 4 columns of files even though they aren't there..) hard to describe behaviours but quirky and unpredictable would sum up my experiences under ML

I've been using Moom now for 6 months on Snow Leopard. For other reasons, I did a wipe and fresh installation of Snow Leopard about 1 month ago. In the last week, I've noticed the WindowServer process consuming 95% CPU. At first, I thought it was Parallels, but I have recently ruled that out. I removed all my "Login Items" and the problem went away. I systematically started adding each "Login Item" back and Moom turned out to be the culprit. When I turn Moom off (and reboot), CPU usage goes down to 5% for the WindowServer. When I turn Moom back on, CPU usage goes to 60% immediately and 95% within 5 minutes. I love Moom, but I can't use my computer when it's spinning its wheels on the WindowServer process.

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!

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.

Great app, use it a lot since the purchase. Easy and very handy !

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.

It's brilliantly simple and unobtrusive, but it still has plenty of useful features. The new presets are simple to set up and cover pretty much everything I need from a window manager.

Version 1.2.1 simply works great for me - no hiccups with HyperDock and Cinch. :)

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.
