It was usually the second application installed on any new computer. A Note About Spectacleįor years we’ve used Spectacle to manage our application windows. This post is an adaptation of Using Rectangle to Manage macOS Windows on our YouTube Channel. This post will discuss Rectangle only but if you want to support Ryan and the future development of Rectangle and Hookshot you can purchase a copy through the website. The big difference between the two appears to be the fact that we have better control over window placement using our mouse in Hookshot. At the time of this writing, there’s a 10-day free trial and then it’s $7.99 USD for a license. Ryan also develops Hookshot which is a utility built on Rectangle with some additional bells and whistles. Rectangle allows us to manage our application windows using keyboard shortcuts and mouse hotspots. Rectangle is a free and open source application built by Ryan Hanson and distributed on. By using Rectangle we can operate more effectively and in turn generate code faster. This can take up a lot of time during our day and can be compounded if we have large or multiple monitors. As knowledge workers, we spend a lot of time managing windows on our computers.
