Lasso is a Mac window manager for when you juggle several apps or screens and want repeatable window arrangements without constant manual resizing.

What you get

You get your windows into place without repeatedly dragging their edges.

Lasso gives you a quicker way to arrange the windows you work with on your Mac. You bring up a grid with a hotkey, then click and drag to choose a window’s size and position. You can put a browser beside a document or make room for Finder without carefully grabbing window edges.

When you find an arrangement that suits a task, you can save it and assign a shortcut. That lets you move the active window into a saved position without opening Lasso’s interface. You can keep different layouts for different tasks rather than resize windows from scratch each time.

If you use several displays, you can move and resize windows across them. You can also adjust the grid and gaps between windows to suit your workspace, and sync your settings through iCloud so you don’t have to configure each Mac separately.

  • Less fiddling with edges

    You choose a window’s size and position on a grid instead of repeatedly dragging its borders.

  • Reuse your preferred arrangements

    You save layouts for different tasks and use hotkeys to place the active window where you want it.

  • Arrange windows across screens

    You move and resize windows across multiple displays to keep the apps you need in view.

  • Keep your settings consistent

    You sync your settings through iCloud rather than configure Lasso separately on each Mac.

Best for

  • You regularly work with several windows side by side
  • You move windows between multiple displays
  • You want reusable window arrangements for different tasks

Skip it if

You probably don’t need it if you mostly use one full-screen app and rarely rearrange windows.

Screenshots

From the developer

Managing multiple windows can easily turn into chaos: overlapping Finder panes, misplaced browsers, and endless dragging around. But what if you could organize your Mac workspace as easily as snapping puzzle pieces into place? Lasso makes your desktop feel neat, focused, and fully under your control.
