Windowed inter­face is a pain in the ass.

It’s not because it doesn’t do any­thing, but because it does every­thing and it does it in a freestyle, man­ual way that gives the headache, it even cre­ates an entire cat­e­gory of win­dow resiz­ing man­age­ment app and we have a slew of them — mostly paid with prices between $1.99 to $14 — at the time of this writing.

But I also found this app.

It’s a fork of an orig­i­nal aban­don­ware, and the lat­est avail­able build is dated Nov 2010 (ver­sion 1.5).

It’s a low-memory usage, menubar-based back­ground app (remov­able icon), sup­ports 8 dif­fer­ent win­dow mode includ­ing cen­ter & fullscreen max­i­miz­ing for every active OS X win­dow. On ver­sion 1.5, though, the app is still yet to sup­port restor­ing win­dows to their orig­i­nal size¹ like some of its paid coun­ter­part, but at $0, with enough win­dow resiz­ing sce­nario pos­si­ble (I’m home with the side-by-side left-right scheme), key­board short­cuts & remov­able menubar icon, and a rea­son­able roadmap, I’m not even gonna complain.

And I think the Fifth Gear–style icon was cute.
