Using Moom and BetterTouchTool to Reset My Windows Layouts between Laptop and Desktop Mode

• Niléane

Moom is a utility for moving, resizing, and snapping windows. One of its features is the ability to save snapshots of your window arrangements and restore them with a click or a keyboard shortcut.

I have mainly used this feature to save and restore the way I like to arrange my windows when I’m using my Macbook Air at my desk versus when I’m on the go and using it in laptop mode. While macOS is better than ever at remembering how your windows were arranged the last time you were plugged into a specific monitor, it still isn’t perfect, and I’ve found it still will often scramble them after switching back and forth a few times.
