Flexiglass offers a convenient way to move, resize, maximize, and close windows on a Mac with a mouse, trackpad and keyboard.
Among the countless number of applications that just arrange windows on your desktop Flexiglass actually offers a convenient way to move, resize, maximize, and close windows on a Mac with a mouse, trackpad and keyboard.
* Move & Resize
Usually, when you want to move or resize a window on a Mac you are limited by its title bar or lower-right corner. Flexiglass enables more comfortable window management. To quickly move or resize the active window just place the mouse cursor over it, press a definable key and start dragging windows with the left or right mouse button respectively.
* Quick Layouts
If you used to work with more than one window at a time Flexiglass will help you to arrange windows on your screen any way you like. Just move a window to the right, left or top, and it will automatically resize and move itself to fill the half, quarter of the screen, or full screen.
* Quick Layout Shortcuts
User-defined shortcuts allow you to move windows to halves or quarters of the screen and back to original size. You can place a window in the center of the screen or move it from one monitor to another.
* Double-click to Zoom
Double-clicking on window title bar is the easiest way to expand it to full screen.
* Real Zoom & Real Close
You can change the default behavior of standard Mac OS X buttons. Right-clicking on the green Zoom button will maximize a window to full screen. Right-clicking on Close window button will quit the whole application.
* Multitouch Trackpad and Mouse
You can use finger gestures on your macbook trackpad or Magic trackpad to move and resize.
Flexiglass can save different settings for a trackpad and a mouse and automatically change them when you plug or unplug devices.

Broken on Mojave
Mola2alex
Does not seem to work on Mojave and no response from the developer on supporting it. Other apps like magnet work great so would recommend magnet at this point.
Developer Response
Hi! We just released an update with lots of bugfixes and macOS Sonoma support. Please check it out!
Tahoe incompatibility
jdalmul
This app stopped performing reliably with Sequoia and has stopped altogether with Tahoe. I used it for years, and it performed like a champ, but I’m now regretfully deleting it. RIP Flexiglass.
Not compatible with tablet?

My Wacom tablet (Bamboo), which I need for my work, stops responding after a few minutes of use; had to remove Flexiglass to go back to normal. Fixes? My money back?MacPro Quad-Core, OS 10X 10.6.8
I really enjoy how this app works
Malcolm Bastien
I've tried and taken a look at other apps designed to move windows and manage layouts, but Flexiglass has been the only one with a real comfortable and fast workflow.The combination of multitouch gestures to move and resize windows, along with easy to remember keyboard shortcuts makes moving windows very fast.I don't use "Real Zoom" or "Real Close" myself, but I could see other people liking those features. Features is where this app shines. Flexiglass has all the features you could want, without being too bloated or complicated.
Macs with Apple Silicon support
Lots of bugfixes for macOS Sonoma
