Release notes
Changelog
Site update — August 12, 2026 · Readable buttons and small print
- The buttons in the header say what they say. The Tip and Download pills were drawing their label at 55% opacity over a colored fill, which measured as low as 1.6:1 against it — well under the 4.5:1 the accessibility guidelines ask for. Their labels are now solid, and the fill behind them is set a shade deeper so the text genuinely clears that bar.
- The Subscribe and Support buttons too. Their labels were colored for one end of a two-color gradient and disappeared into the other end. Both now use a single fill that the label is legible on all the way across.
- The newsletter note, the “More apps” caption and the version line under the download button were all set too faint to read comfortably; each is now above the AA threshold.
- Keyboard shortcut chips are legible against their own background.
- The screenshot viewer no longer makes every visit quietly re-download this page as if it were an image — a wasted request on each load.
- No change to the app.
Site update — August 11, 2026 · Clearer search results
- The description under this site in Google is no longer cut off. It ran past the length Google shows and broke mid-word; it now reads as a complete sentence.
- Sharing a link to the privacy, terms or changelog page now shows a proper preview card instead of a bare URL.
- The sitemap now reports when each page actually changed, so search engines re-check pages that have been updated instead of assuming they are stale.
- No change to the app.
1.0.0 — August 11, 2026 · Initial public release
First release — keyboard-first window snapping and tiling for macOS, in the vein of Rectangle and Magnet, using Rectangle's default keymap so muscle memory carries over.
- A complete snap grid — halves, thirds, two-thirds, fourths and three-fourths, quarters and sixths, plus Maximize, Maximize Height, Maximize Width, Almost Maximize and Center (which keeps the window's size).
- Cycle on repeat — press the same shortcut again to step a window through ½ → ⅔ → ⅓ instead of hunting for a second key.
- Drag-to-snap — drag a window toward an edge or corner and a live preview shows exactly where it will land, gaps included. Side edges give halves, the top edge Maximize and its corners quarters, and the bottom edge is a thirds ruler. It only arms once a window is genuinely being moved, so clicks and text selections never trigger it; edge sensitivity is adjustable, and you can require a modifier or hold ⌘ to suppress a snap mid-drag.
- Grow, shrink and nudge in any direction, with step sizes you set. Undo and redo window changes, or Restore to the pre-snap frame.
- Multi-display — send a window to the next or previous display, to the one physically left, right, above or below, or straight to display 1–4, keeping its relative place and size on arrival.
- Saved layouts — capture an arrangement of every window and put it back with one command, or automatically the moment a display is connected or disconnected. Stored as proportions rather than pixels, so a 5K layout restores correctly onto a laptop screen.
- Tile All — arrange everything on the current display, or just the frontmost app's windows, into an even grid.
- Stage Manager and full screen — tiles reserve the Stage Manager strip instead of sliding underneath it (macOS does not tell apps where it is, so the reservation is adjustable), and snapping a natively full-screened window leaves full screen first rather than quietly doing nothing.
- Fully customizable shortcuts — record any combination for any of the 50+ commands, with live conflict detection and one-click restore-to-defaults. Snapr also flags a binding macOS refused because another app owns it, instead of leaving you pressing a dead key.
- Cheat sheet — ⌃⌥/ puts every command and its binding on screen, over whatever you are working in.
- It tells you when it can't — no eligible window, an ignored app, or a window that refuses to resize each produce a brief on-screen message, spoken aloud for VoiceOver, rather than a shortcut that looks broken.
- App ignore list for VMs, games and remote-desktop sessions, configurable gaps with a live preview, settings import / export, launch at login, and an option to hide the menu-bar icon without losing the hotkeys.
- Every control VoiceOver-labelled and keyboard-operable — including the shortcut recorder. Honours Reduce Motion and Increase Contrast; WCAG 2.1 AA throughout.
- Signed and notarized by Apple — macOS 13+, Apple Silicon & Intel, one universal build.
- Free for personal use forever, including updates; optional one-time $5-per-device commercial license for commercial use.
Known scope for 1.0: macOS exposes no API for the Stage Manager strip's frame, so the space Snapr reserves for it is an estimate — adjustable, and switchable off, rather than silently wrong.
