Lasso

Who It's For

Lasso is for users who want custom grid-based window layouts with a clean, native-feeling interface and iCloud sync across machines. It sits in the same category as BentoBox and MacsyZones — custom zone editors — but emphasizes layout portability: your layouts sync automatically across your Macs, and can be exported and imported as files. At €9.99, it targets users who want a polished, well-maintained tool and don't mind paying for quality.

How It Works

Lasso presents a grid-based layout editor where you create named configurations by dividing your screen into zones. Window snapping is triggered via keyboard shortcuts, where you select a layout and a zone to apply to the focused window. Each display can have its own layout set. Layouts can be exported as files for backup or sharing with teammates, and iCloud sync keeps everything in sync if you use multiple Macs.

Compared to Similar Tools

Compared to MacsyZones (free), Lasso has iCloud sync and layout export/import but costs €9.99. MacsyZones has shake-to-snap, which Lasso lacks. Compared to Rectangle Pro ($9.99), Lasso's strength is in layout management and sync; Rectangle Pro has cursor gestures and window groups. For users working on multiple Macs with consistent layout needs, Lasso's sync is a practical advantage.
