Window management is especially critical for us laptop users, who get along with much smaller, lower-resolution display screens than do most desktop folks. OS X Spaces helps a lot, and if you’re not using it you’re missing out on one of the Mac OS’s (Leopard and Snow Leopard) coolest laptop-oriented features. However, for tasks like moving text or other content from one application to another, switching back and forth between Spaces can still be cumbersome, the ideal being to have both app. windows juxtaposed on the same screen for convenient cutting and pasting or dragging and dropping, the problem being that on a laptop especially there often is insufficient room. Enter Divvy.
Divvy is an entirely new way of managing your workspace. It allows you to quickly and efficiently “divvy up” your screen into exact portions using a simple drag interface in a dialog which can be conifgured with user-specified shortcuts.
With Divvy, it is as simple as calling up the interface, clicking and dragging. When you let go, your window will be resized and moved to the relative position on the screen. If that seems like too much work, go ahead and create as many different shortcuts as you’d like that resize and move your windows in exactly the same way.
Divvy is designed to be quick, simple and elegant and to stay out of your way as much as possible while providing the most powerful window management available.
A video tutorial on the Divvy Website reveals the elegant simplicity of the concept. A downloadable demo is available. Divvy sells for $14.00.
