Who Divvy is not for

Keep Divvy, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Divvy you would be making control over other apps' windows. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 22 of the 28 other window managers and launchers grade higher.
What you could not
- Control over other apps' windows.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Divvy’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Divvy?
Divvy shows a grid on the screen; dragging across part of it moves and resizes the active window to that share of the display. Custom keyboard shortcuts can apply the same sizes without opening the grid. It runs on Mac and Windows.
Worth knowing
- The product page still refers to Mac OS X 10.6 and a 1.5.1 update notice, so check current macOS support before buying.
- The page does not state the trial length or whether major updates are free.
