FAQPage Schema
How do I automate macOS window tiling and positioning for specific screen halves?▼

Automate macOS window tiling by using Accessibility APIs to position and resize application windows to precise halves, quarters, or custom screen coordinates. This enables automated layout configuration without manual dragging.

Can I move application windows between virtual desktops on macOS automatically?▼

Move application windows between virtual desktops automatically by executing Space management operations via macOS Accessibility APIs. This facilitates multi-monitor management and virtual desktop operations across displays.

What is the best way to save and restore macOS window layouts across reboots?▼

Save and restore macOS window layouts by using state persistence features to remember window positions and sizes. This allows you to automatically restore complex multi-window configurations like side-by-side code editors and browsers.

Does macOS Accessibility API support multi-monitor window management and resizing?▼

macOS Accessibility API supports multi-monitor window management by providing precise control over window positioning and resizing across multiple displays. It facilitates seamless management of application windows in multi-monitor setups.

How to script automated window layouts for code editors and browsers on macOS?▼

Script automated window layouts for code editors and browsers by leveraging macOS Accessibility APIs to tile windows to specific screen halves. Save the configured layout state to restore the exact positioning later.

When should I use Accessibility APIs for window management instead of manual positioning?▼

Use Accessibility APIs for window management when you need to automate complex, multi-window layouts across virtual desktops or multiple monitors. It provides precise programmatic control over positioning, resizing, and state persistence that manual dragging cannot achieve.
