Cascade 2.0.1
A macOS menu bar utility that arranges windows in a classic Windows-style cascade, grouped by application.
Install
- Download Cascade-2.0.1.zip, unzip, and drag Cascade.app into /Applications.
- Open it. The app is not notarized, so macOS blocks the first launch: go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
- When asked, turn on Cascade under Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
Universal binary (Apple silicon + Intel), macOS 13 Ventura or later.
What's new in 2.0
- Window size: fill the group, or a custom width/height percentage
- Adjustable visible strip (top and left) of the windows underneath
- Cascade groups for large displays: columns × rows, grouped by application or pinned manually per app
- Snap windows into a group with ⌃⌥1–9, the menu, or by ⇧-dragging onto a group
- Cascade each display separately, or everything onto the display under the pointer
- Settings window with a live layout preview and customizable shortcuts
Fixed in 2.0.1
- Accessibility permission is now recognized after granting it, and survives rebuilds and updates (previously the app could keep asking).
