Auto Window Arranger v1.0.0-beta.5

Auto Window Arranger v1.0.0-beta.5 is a native macOS menu bar app update for arranging application windows.

Changed

• Exactly three eligible windows now stay in one row with three equal columns across the target display's visible area.
• The app no longer switches three windows to a 2 × 2 grid when a target application enforces a minimum window size.
• If an application cannot complete the requested resize, Auto Window Arranger keeps its existing partial-completion or failure feedback instead of selecting another layout.

Validation

• 124 automated tests passed.
• The release contains a Universal Binary for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
• The DMG is signed with Developer ID, uses Hardened Runtime, is notarized by Apple, and has a stapled ticket.

Requires macOS 14 or later. This release remains a Beta prerelease; Intel hardware, complete UI coverage, and broader multi-display compatibility have not all been verified.

Auto Window Arranger v1.0.0-beta.4

Fourth public beta of Auto Window Arranger.

What's new

• Adds an independent Switch to the right of every added app.
• Turning a Switch off keeps the app in the list and saves the setting, while excluding it from automatic monitoring, single-app arrangement, and combined arrangement.
• Turning the Switch back on restores arrangement participation.
• Improves automatic detection of closed and same-count replaced windows.
• Adds a non-overlapping fallback when a three-window single-row layout is rejected by an app's minimum window size.

Validation

• 125 automated tests passed.
• The settings view passed automated layout and rendering checks in Aqua and Dark Aqua appearances. This is not a complete VM/CUA visual acceptance result.
• Universal arm64 + x86_64 DMG signed with Developer ID, notarized by Apple, stapled, and accepted by Gatekeeper.
• Requires macOS 14 or later. Intel hardware remains unverified.

Install

Download Auto-Window-Arranger.dmg, verify it with the accompanying SHA256 file, drag Auto Window Arranger to /Applications, then grant Accessibility access when prompted.
