Moom for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By QueueBear

  i’ve been waiting for this app for years

  i put this in my “to evaluate” list years ago, after hearing about it on a podcast - but, because i’m a huge procrastinator, didnt try in until a few days ago i have waisted *so much* time of my life worrying about sizing windows “just right” to fit my eccentric work habits - my experience told me that no app could *ever* get close to satisfying my obsessive, OCD-like need for pixel-perfect alignment i’m here to tell you that MooM (i like that spelling) fits my need perfectly, and i’m using only a fraction of its capabilities if you are meticulous about your window-based working environment, no matter how idiosyncratic, MooM is the app for you - hurry, give these fine people the pittance they’re asking for the app (or try the demo first, you’ll pay) i wish i had evaluated this app a long, long time ago folks, this app represents everything that Windows development is all about: - great attention to detail - clean interface - powerful, yet easy to use - delightful working on my Windows has become even more enjoyable, something i though could not be possible i dont write eloquent reviews like this one often - it gives me great joy to pen (type) this one

  Just One Issue for Otherwise Great Utility

  One area where PC falls behind Windows is the type window management that Moom provides: half screen snapping to the left side, right side, top, or bottom of the display; quarter display size windows; centered windows; etc. The one issue I have with Moom is that it is a standalone background application that needs to be invoked to use its functionality instead of a bundle for System Preferences. If Moom were a fifth category bundle, “Other”, it would appear with other third-party system preferences. Instead of a set-and-forget model where I can configure ⌥🠔 and ⌥🠖 as shortcuts that function in PC as Win 🠔 and Win 🠖 does in Windows, respectively, I have to first hit a hot key to invoke Moom, and then, use the assigned keyboard shortcut. Other than that misstep, Moom provides window management that PC does not.

  Must Have

  This was one of thoes tools that I got wondering if I would ever even use it, only to reach a point where I can’t imagine being without it… I’m a little OCD so if a window is off, even by a little, I have to fix it. I actually set the app up using a Launch Agent to ensure it’s alwasy running, even when I boot up in safe mode…. When I’m using a computer where it’s not actively running, I constantly find my self hovering over the resize button waiting for the Moom window to pop open. There is one UI adjustment I’d like to see (namely being able to re-arrange layouts so I can replace the defaults with the items in the custom dropdown), but even without that I still give this 5 stars...

  Wow!!!

  Occasionally I get a project going that needs about 7 or more Applications running at the same time. It gets pretty crazy on my Desktop to get the project completed as I have to bounce back and forth between the Apps. That being said, Moom straightened it all out for me. It has a learning curve but once I got through that my Desktop became extremely organized and now and I can find what I am looking for VERY quickly. I looked over the ratings before I purchased and the only conclusion I can come to about the "one-stars" is that they must be this company's comptetitors. This is a nice piece of software and I am glad I found it.

  One of my Favorite Utilities - Mojave Update

  Catalina Review The app is still great. It even works with remote desktops (outside the desktop on the entire session) and remote apps (on the whole app via keystroke only) such as VMware Horizon and Microsoft RDP clients. The only area where I wish it could perform magic is if the app could detect whether I'm in a remote session client app (like Windows's Screen Sharing) and then ignore the keystrokes and pass them through to Moom in the remote Windows OS session. For now I just use the mouse-over on the window's green button in the remote Windows sessions. 😊 Mojave Review Still one of my all time favorite utilities. For Mojave, it still works with keystrokes and such, but I no longer get the pop-over when mousing over the green window maximize button. UPDATE: This was fixed and the app has worked rock solidly for years. Sierra/High Sierra Review Definitely one of my favorite Windows utility apps. It makes screen snapping extremelly easy and quick. I love that I can use both keyboard shortcuts and mouseover/mouse movements with this app - especially when I’m on my Pc vs. Windows or differently when my Pc is docked with an external screen and keyboard vs. traveling. My only complaint is the manual change for the hotkeys needed between use modes (docked/traveling) on my Pc. I prefer using the number pad on my larger keyboard when docked where the MBP built-in keyboard of course doesn’t have that. Otherwise…..great app!
