16 layouts built in
Halves, thirds, quarters, focus layouts, and grids — ready the first time you drag. Nothing to configure first.
Just drag.Everything snaps into place.
Tyles brings Snap Layouts to the Mac. Carry a window to the top edge, drop it into a zone, and your screen tiles itself.

Layouts
A layout divides a display into zones. Tyles ships sixteen of them — halves, thirds, quarters and focus layouts — and every one is a starting point you can redraw.
Drag a window to the top edge to open the picker, then drop it into the zone you want.
How it works
One gesture. A calmer desktop.
Drag to the top edge
Drop it in a zone
Fill the rest
Save it as a Scene

What’s inside
Powerful features, quietly integrated.
A focused menu-bar utility that feels native because it is.
Zones drawn by you
Split any display into 2–12 zones shaped around the work you actually do. Your screen, your proportions.
Scenes: whole desks, saved
Keep the arrangements you return to — apps, zones, and stacking order restored in one click. Closed apps relaunch themselves.
Joint resize
Drag the seam between snapped windows and both move together. One edge, two windows.
Snap Assist
NewFill every empty zone from your open windows — no second drag. The desk finishes itself.
⌘⌥T
Global shortcut
Summon the picker for the frontmost window from anywhere. No drag required.
Every display
Ultrawide and laptop each keep their own layouts and proportions. Plug in, pick up where you left off.

Frequently asked questions
Tyles is built for macOS 14 Sonoma and newer, on Apple silicon and Intel.
macOS requires Accessibility access before any app can move or resize another app's windows. Tyles asks once during setup and uses it only for snapping.
No. It's optional, and only enables live window previews in Snap Assist. Without it, Tyles shows app icons instead.
Yes. Tyles remembers every display you connect, adapts previews to their real proportions, and lets display groups carry different layout sets.
