Swish 1.13.3 for macOS

If you already use a tool like Rectangle or Magnet to snap windows around the screen, Swish sits in that same corner of macOS but leans harder on gestures. It gives you 28 of them across the title bar, dock, and menu bar, plus keyboard shortcuts when you want them.

Snap windows on a 2×2 grid

Version 1.13.3 keeps the core the same: window management and application control through gestures. You get snapping on a 2×2 grid, spaces management, and the ability to move windows between screens on a multi-monitor setup. It works with a Magic Trackpad, Magic Mouse, or plain keyboard shortcuts. There is no big change list this time around, which is fine — the tool already covers its ground.

English-only with a quick start guide

The interface is English only, and it still runs on macOS 12 or newer on both Intel and Apple Silicon machines. A quick start guide is included, so the learning curve stays short. If you wanted a window manager that feels like part of the trackpad, this is still that.

Turn off gestures you trigger by accident

Out of the box, Swish is ready to go, but a couple of tweaks make it feel more like yours. Open preferences and head straight to the gestures list. I turn off any gesture I accidentally trigger — usually the three-finger dock swipes, because I use those for Mission Control already. It takes ten seconds and saves a dozen small annoyances each day.

The other one I change early: the grid. Swish defaults to a 2×2 layout, which covers the basics. If you work on a big display, hold the Option key while snapping to unlock the 2×3 grid. Once you get used to the extra column, going back feels cramped. While you are in settings, check the spaces gestures too — moving a window to another space with a two-finger swipe on the title bar becomes second nature fast.

No menubar clutter or CPU drain

I have used Swish on both an Apple Silicon MacBook Air and an older Intel iMac. On neither machine does it leave a mark on memory or CPU. It sits quietly in the background, no menubar clutter, no launch daemon eating cycles. The gestures register the first time, every time — even right after waking from sleep, which is where some window managers stumble.

Stability has been a non-issue across a week of constant snapping, switching spaces, and throwing windows between two screens. No crashes, no redrawing glitches, no windows getting stuck halfway between monitors. If you are looking to download Swish for Mac and want something that stays out of your way, that quietness is the best compliment I can give it.
