Drag it up.
Drop it in.

Slycd turns your Mac's notch into a drop zone for windows. Drag any window to the top of the screen, pick a layout, and it snaps into place with Apple's own tiling.

How it works

One drag. Every layout.

  1. 01Drag toward the notch

    Start moving any window. The notch grows into a Snap bar, so you know it's listening.

  2. 02Pick a layout

    Keep going up and the layouts open: halves, quarters, fill, and Apple's arrangements. A preview shows where it lands.

  3. 03Fill the other side

    Your other windows show up in the empty half. Click one and the split is done.

Swap sides in one move.

Two windows side by side? Drop one onto the other half and they trade places. Or press ⌃⌥S from anywhere.

Your keyboard works too.

⌃⌥Z opens the layouts for whatever window is in front. Arrow keys pick, Return places. Change either shortcut in Settings.

Sized for every screen.

MacBooks with or without a notch, external monitors, ultrawides, and screens turned vertical. On a monitor, a notch drops in while you drag, sized for the distance you sit from it.

Lives in your menu bar.

No Dock icon, no clutter. Slycd opens at login, sits quietly next to the clock, and stays out of the way until you drag a window.

Questions

Good to know.

Why does Slycd need Accessibility access?
macOS only lets an app move other apps' windows once you allow it under Accessibility. Slycd uses that to place and resize windows, and never reads what's inside them.
Does it replace macOS tiling?
No, it uses it. Every layout is Apple's own, with the same margins, and dragging to a screen edge or using the green button still works.
Is it really free?
Yes. No trial, no paid tier, no ads, and nothing locked. Slycd is free for good.
What does Slycd collect?
A few anonymous counts a day, like which layouts get used, so the popular ones get the attention. Never window titles, app names, or anything you type. Turn it off anytime in Settings.
Why isn't it on the Mac App Store?
Mac App Store apps run in Apple's sandbox, which blocks moving other apps' windows. Slycd is signed with an Apple Developer ID and checked by Apple instead, so it opens without warnings.
Which Macs does it work on?
Any Mac on macOS 15 Sequoia or later, Apple silicon or Intel, with or without a notch, plus external monitors, ultrawides, and screens turned vertical.
Where did it go after I opened it?
Up to your menu bar. Slycd has no Dock icon; look for its icon near the clock. If your menu bar is full, macOS may hide it behind the notch. Opening Slycd again brings up its welcome window.
How do I remove it?
Quit Slycd from its menu bar icon, then drag it from Applications to the Trash.

Give your windows a place to go.
