Wins

Who It's For

Wins is for users who want a visually rich window management experience with live preview thumbnails. Its menu bar icon opens a control panel showing small live previews of your open windows alongside snap controls — you can see the actual window contents while choosing where to move them, rather than working from app icons or window titles alone. It's aimed at users who appreciate visual interfaces and want window control directly from the menu bar without switching away from their current work.

How It Works

Wins hooks into macOS via the Accessibility API and provides both drag-to-snap and keyboard shortcuts for standard positions (halves, thirds, quarters, fullscreen). The menu bar panel displays live thumbnail previews of open windows, letting you click a preview to bring that window to focus or drag it to a snap position. This preview-driven interaction model differentiates Wins from tools like Rectangle or Magnet, which operate purely through shortcuts and drag zones without any visual overview.

Compared to Similar Tools

Compared to Magnet ($5.99) and Rectangle (free), Wins adds a live window preview panel that those tools lack. However, at $13.99 it's significantly more expensive than Magnet and much more than Rectangle. Compared to Moom ($10), Wins has live previews while Moom has the grid visual tool and saved workflow sequences. For users who want to visually browse and arrange windows from the menu bar, Wins provides an interface the other tools don't offer.
