Trackpad-oriented window manager for macOS

Penc

Penc is yet another window manager app for macOS. Instead of complicated keyboard shortcuts, Penc is designed for trackpad usage.

Usage

• Double press and hold Command Key (⌘) to activate Penc
  • Drag with two fingers to move the window
  • Pinch with two fingers to resize the window
    • Pinch vertically to make the window taller/shorter, or horizontally to make it wider/thinner
  • Fast swipe with two fingers to snap the window into halves/quarters
• Release Command Key (⌘) to take effect

Installation

There are two recommended options for installation.

Homebrew

$ brew install penc --cask
