osx app

All Sized Up - for pennies!

I love little OSX utilities that are 1) coded elegantly 2) actually do something useful and 3) are free or cost pennies. Irradiated Software has produced just one app that does all of the above.

SizeUp is a tiny utility (hardly a footprint on ur OSX resources) and does what you wish Spaces did, meaning it allows you to manage windows without a lot of craziness. Just use some easy to remember (or custom) keystrokes and Voila, u can place and size windows across multiple monitors as easy as you can click the mouse and press a key.

Below is a screencap of resized windows in the upper left/right and lower left/right and a 150px margin set to the right (SizeUp automatically adds a margin for the menubar and OSX dock). You have options to make the formost app fullscreen (or put it anywhere with a keystroke) and even send it to another monitor and “snap it back when needed.



The app costs $2.99 or "name your price" (suggested price = $9.99), and there is even a free light version if that seems like too much to shell out. But as a simple-to-use replacement for Spaces, I would have paid twice that much. Well-done Irradiated!

This is the COW BOG for Jiggy Gaton, designer, filmmaker, cartoon-a-list, (and some say madman) living in Kathmandu Nepal. Check here often for a post-modern take on the ancient arts, a look at new technology on decrepit infrastructure, and how a new-age expat deals with village life. Ps. He did not misspell blog, he really does live in a cow bog.
