Keyboard-first tiling with layout persistence for macOS.
Your windows remember where they belong.
Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later
Halves, quarters, thirds, maximize, center. All from the keyboard. Muscle memory in minutes.
Save window layouts per monitor setup. Unplug your external display, plug it back in — everything returns exactly where it was.
Changed your mind? ⌃⌥Z instantly restores the previous window position. Tile fearlessly.
One shortcut (⌃⌥T) arranges all windows of the focused app in a smart grid. Instant overview.
Move windows between displays with ⌃⌥[ and ⌃⌥]. Proportional scaling keeps everything tidy.
Grow or shrink windows from center or directionally. Fine-tune layouts without touching the mouse.
Consistent, intuitive modifier keys. Learn once, use forever.

"Layout persistence alone is worth it. I unplug my monitor every day and everything just snaps back."
"Switched from Rectangle. SnapBack and tile-all-windows are features I didn't know I needed."
"$2.99 for this is a steal. Moom costs $10 and doesn't even have tile-all-windows."
Locata requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It's built with Swift 6 and SwiftUI to take full advantage of the latest system APIs.
macOS requires Accessibility access for any app that moves or resizes windows belonging to other applications. Locata uses this permission exclusively for window management — nothing else.
The App Store sandbox prevents apps from managing windows of other applications. Locata is distributed via direct download with Developer ID signing and Apple notarization for your security.
No. Locata is a one-time purchase of $2.99. You pay once, you own it. All future updates included.
Locata uses SHA-256 display fingerprinting to identify your exact monitor setup. When you connect or disconnect a display, it automatically detects the configuration change and restores the saved window layout for that setup.
All default shortcuts use ⌃⌥ (Control + Option) as the base modifier, making them consistent and easy to learn. Custom shortcut configuration is on the roadmap.
Yes. Locata has full multi-monitor support including monitor switching shortcuts (⌃⌥[ and ⌃⌥]) with proportional window scaling, and per-monitor-setup layout persistence.
Join developers and power users who've stopped fighting their window manager.
