Smart Layouts is a powerful window management app for macOS that lets you create custom zone layouts to organize your windows efficiently. It allows you to snap windows to predefined zones using drag-and-drop or keyboard shortcuts, helping you maintain a clutter-free and productive workspace.
Smart Layouts brings zone-based window management features similar to those found in Microsoft PowerToys FancyZones, but built natively for macOS. It provides the similar workflow — custom layouts, drag-to-snap, and keyboard navigation — tailored for Mac users.

Smart Layouts requires macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later. It's built with Swift and SwiftUI for optimal performance and native macOS integration.
Absolutely! Smart Layouts supports unlimited monitors with independent layouts for each. It uses hardware identifiers to remember your setup, so layouts persist even when monitors are reconnected.
To create overlapping zones, simply open the layout editor and drag zones to position them on top of each other. Overlapping zones are perfect for utility windows, chat apps, or any elements you want to keep accessible without disrupting your primary workflow.
Smart Layouts requires Accessibility permissions to read window positions, move and resize windows, and monitor keyboard shortcuts. We don't collect, transmit, or store any data about your usage beyond local layout configurations.
No! Smart Layouts does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. All layout configurations, settings, and usage data remain strictly local on your device. We respect your privacy and only require the minimum permissions needed for window management functionality.
Smart Layouts was created by a student, an independent developer passionate about building tools that enhance productivity and workflow efficiency.
No, Smart Layouts is not affiliated with Apple Inc. or Microsoft Corporation in any way. It's an independent app built by a third-party developer to enhance the macOS experience with zone-based window management.
