Kleave app icon

Kleave

Move and resize macOS windows with keyboard shortcuts. Sixteen actions, nothing else.

macOS 15+ · Apple silicon · free · no third-party dependencies

The whole product, in one grid

Halves, corners, thirds, fill, center, resize, and a throw to the next display. Sixteen actions cover how windows actually get arranged, so there is nothing to configure beyond the shortcuts.

Lives in the menu bar

No Dock icon, no main window. Click the mark to see every action with its shortcut.

Why it asks for Accessibility access

macOS only lets an app move another app's windows through the Accessibility permission. Kleave uses it to read a window's position and size and write new ones back. It reads no window contents, records no keystrokes, and makes no network connections.

Step 1
Launch Kleave

A single consent window appears. Kleave does nothing until access is granted.

Step 2
Grant access

System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. Turn Kleave on.

Step 3
Done

Shortcuts work right away, no relaunch. Revoke access in the same place at any time.
