zderroron GridSnap – an open-source Divvy-style window snapper for macOS

Looking good, a bit outside of scope of what I needed but I can totally see the appeal! Good luck!

I haven't encountered that so far, and have been using it for a few weeks now, but am happy to receive any bug reports!

I do use it on M4 Pro though, so that is certainly a possibility!

zderroron GridSnap – an open-source Divvy-style window snapper for macOS

I recently came across Divvy (https://mizage.com/divvy/), and since it's closed source and hasn't changed in years, I built a lightweight open source alternative with Claude Code.

Press a shortcut, a grid appears, drag across the cells you want and the window snaps there, following your drag live. Any region can be saved as a preset with its own shortcut. It is simple Swift, has no dependencies, and requires no network access.

Tested on macOS 26 Tahoe. Feedback from anyone on earlier macOS versions is very welcome.

It's useful to me as is, and maybe it will be useful to someone else. Enjoy!
