Moom Classic 4+

The best window app on the macOS market

I’m a software junkie, an addict, always llong for my next fix of software, even if it is a big upgrade. First thing every morning I launch the App Store app to see what is new or has bveen upgraded. I purchase software i don’t need just becasue it looks good or it has a nice GUI, maybe the developor is a great developer and rarely releases anything not of value. Anyway, I spend most of my day using and trying software.

Peter Maurer happens to be one of those excellent developers he has developed some of the best utlitites for the Mac for many years. Moom happens to be one of those great applications that save a tremendous amount of time. I’ve tried many other window manipulating app’s and always end up back using Moom. It is simple to use but can be configured to be powerful for the pro user. It does most everything most everything every other window manipulating app does and more.

**I highly recommend trying it. He has a free trial on his website. You won’t be sorry!**

One of my Favorite Utilities - Mojave Update

Catalina Review
The app is still great. It even works with remote desktops (outside the desktop on the entire session) and remote apps (on the whole app via keystroke only) such as VMware Horizon and Microsoft RDP clients. The only area where I wish it could perform magic is if the app could detect whether I'm in a remote session client app (like Mac's Screen Sharing) and then ignore the keystrokes and pass them through to Moom in the remote Mac OS session. For now I just use the mouse-over on the window's green button in the remote mac sessions. 😊

Mojave Review
Still one of my all time favorite utilities. For Mojave, it still works with keystrokes and such, but I no longer get the pop-over when mousing over the green window maximize button.
UPDATE: This was fixed and the app has worked rock solidly for years.

Sierra/High Sierra Review
Definitely one of my favorite Mac utility apps. It makes screen snapping extremelly easy and quick. I love that I can use both keyboard shortcuts and mouseover/mouse movements with this app - especially when I’m on my MacBook vs. iMac or differently when my MacBook is docked with an external screen and keyboard vs. traveling.

My only complaint is the manual change for the hotkeys needed between use modes (docked/traveling) on my MacBook. I prefer using the number pad on my larger keyboard when docked where the MBP built-in keyboard of course doesn’t have that.

Otherwise…..great app!

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the pop-up, it isn't a Moom issue, but something related to Mojave's new permissions system. This article in our FAQ has two suggested fixes; the more complex has worked for everyone who has tried it: https://manytricks.com/osticket/kb/faq.php?id=112 ... as for the keyboard issue, I'm not sure how we'd resolve that. Guessing which keyboard you'd want to use would be difficult and prone to error. -rob.

i’ve been waiting for this app for years

i put this in my “to evaluate” list years ago, after hearing about it on a podcast
- but, because i’m a huge procrastinator, didnt try in until a few days ago

i have waisted *so much* time of my life worrying about sizing windows “just right” to fit my eccentric work habits
- my experience told me that no app could *ever* get close to satisfying my obsessive, OCD-like need for pixel-perfect alignment

i’m here to tell you that MooM (i like that spelling) fits my need perfectly, and i’m using only a fraction of its capabilities

if you are meticulous about your window-based working environment, no matter how idiosyncratic, MooM is the app for you
- hurry, give these fine people the pittance they’re asking for the app (or try the demo first, you’ll pay)

i wish i had evaluated this app a long, long time ago

folks, this app represents everything that Mac development is all about:
- great attention to detail
- clean interface
- powerful, yet easy to use
- delightful

working on my Mac has become even more enjoyable, something i though could not be possible

i dont write eloquent reviews like this one often
- it gives me great joy to pen (type) this one
