About:
Keypad Layout is a macOS utility that transforms the numeric keypad into a powerful window management tool. By holding the Control key and pressing keypad keys, users can instantly resize and position application windows into predefined grid layouts. This streamlines workflow by eliminating the need for manual window dragging or complex keyboard shortcuts.
Key Features:
  • Grid-based window snapping using numeric keypad
  • Control key modifier for instant layout switching
  • Customizable grid layouts and hotkeys
  • Lightweight system utility with minimal footprint
Use Cases:
  • Rapidly organizing multiple coding windows for development workflows
  • Splitting screen space between documentation and IDE
  • Managing video editing timeline and preview windows
Alternatives:
  • Rectangle – Similar window management but uses arrow keys instead of keypad
  • Magnet – Paid App Store alternative with drag-to-edge gestures
