About:
BentoBox is a tiling window manager for macOS that automatically organizes application windows into a predefined grid of zones.

This tool streamlines workflow by ensuring optimal screen space usage and reducing time spent managing window placement.
Key Features:
  • Customizable grid-based layouts for window arrangement
  • Keyboard shortcuts for rapid window snapping and cycling
  • Zone-based management that maintains consistent window positions
  • Support for multiple displays and virtual spaces

  • Developers managing multiple code editors, terminals, and documentation windows simultaneously
  • Data analysts organizing spreadsheets, databases, and visualization tools across screens
  • Power users who need consistent application layouts for specific workflows
Alternatives:
