Swift Shift

Swift Shift runs in the background on macOS, allowing users to move and resize windows directly with the mouse. It replaces the need to target small window title bars or arrow controls by letting shortcuts actions be triggered through configurable mouse buttons and keyboard shortcuts. The utility supports a “quadrant” mode that selects the nearest edge or corner for resizing, and defaults to bottom‑right corner adjustments.

The tool is designed for people who want a faster, more tactile way to organize their workspace without relying on built‑in macOS window controls. It can be set to launch at login, and the menu bar icon may be hidden for a minimal interface. Users can customize shortcuts to match workflows familiar from other operating systems.

Swift Shift is released as open‑source software under a permissive license, encouraging contributions and issue reporting. The project’s code is publicly available on GitHub, and the author notes that the implementation was learned through community resources and AI assistance.
