You have 6 Safari windows scattered across 3 monitors. Or Terminal sessions everywhere. You want them here, on this screen, right now.
Existing tools snap individual windows. Convoker operates on all windows of an app at once. No other tool does this.
Gather — Bring all windows of an app to your current screen, arranged in a smart grid.
Focus — Activate an app and hide everything else. Zero clutter, zero rearranging.
Split — Pin one app, pick another, get instant side-by-side (or 3-way, or 4-way).
Launch — App not running? Convoker launches it and arranges its windows automatically.
Layout options — Grid (default), cascade, side-by-side, or columns.
Press Cmd+Shift+X to open the palette, then:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Enter | Gather all windows to current screen |
| Shift+Enter | Gather + maximize |
| Cmd+Enter | Focus (activate + hide all others) |
| Tab | Pin app for split (up to 4 apps) |
| Tab, then Enter | Split pinned apps side-by-side |
| Escape | Dismiss (or unpin last) |
| Arrow keys | Navigate the app list |
The hotkey is configurable in Settings (tray icon > Settings).

Convoker uses the macOS Accessibility API (AXUIElement) to enumerate and reposition windows. It's a menu bar app with a floating command palette (like Spotlight). No background processes, no daemons, no config files.
The search uses fuse-swift for fuzzy matching and KeyboardShortcuts for the global hotkey.
Why not use Rectangle / Magnet / BetterSnapTool? Those are great for snapping individual windows. Convoker targets all windows of a specific app — a different workflow entirely. They complement each other.
Why not use yabai / AeroSpace? Tiling window managers are always-on and manage every window. Convoker is on-demand — it only acts when you ask, and never rearranges anything automatically.
Does it work with Stage Manager? Yes. Convoker doesn't interfere with Stage Manager, but it works best with Stage Manager disabled.
Will it work on Apple Silicon and Intel? Yes. It's a universal binary.
