Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 4 of the 28 other window managers and launchers we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Divvy, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The grid takes some practice, but there's no big setup.

The report card
Best for dividing the screen into a grid for windows
Divvy lets you drag across a grid to size and place a window, or set shortcuts that do it. It's $13.99 on Mac and Windows. The product page still mentions Mac OS X 10.6 and an old update notice, and the trial length isn't stated.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $13.99 per license, below the $16 middle of one-time prices in this category. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free trial download, but the page doesn't say how long it lasts or what it limits. |
| Features | C | Grid resizing, custom shortcuts and relative screen portions. The page itself looks out of date, so its current support isn't clear. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. The grid takes some practice, but there's no big setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Mac and Windows editions. Computers only, with no phone app or integrations. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Divvy is for
- Fits if you want to size windows by dragging over a grid
- Works for people who use both a Mac and a Windows PC
Who it is not for
- Watch out: the page still refers to Mac OS X 10.6, so check current macOS support
- Watch out: the trial length isn't stated
- Watch out: the page doesn't say whether major updates are free
- Skip it if you want a phone or web version, as none exists
Good to know
Good for
- People who want exact window sizes, not just halves and quarters
- Anyone working on both a Mac and a Windows PC
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.

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
