Wins 3.4 - Snap, switch, and arrange Mac windows from the notch
by•
Wins 4.3 introduces Snap Island — a new way to manage windows on Mac.
Drag a window toward the top of your screen and Snap Island appears from the Mac notch or menu bar area, letting you quickly choose a layout and snap the window into place. It feels fast, visual, and native — closer to a built-in macOS interaction than a traditional window manager.
Wins 4.3 is designed for people who live in multiple windows every day and want their Mac workspace to feel cleaner, faster, and more organized.

Cmd-Tab Plus alone makes this worth it, the way it shows thumbnails and groups apps natively is leagues beyond the default switcher. Feels like it was actually designed for power users, not just slapped together.
Snap Island is genuinely clever, finally a way to group windows without juggling Mission Control. The Cmd-Tab Plus feature alone made me ditch Rectangle after a day.
The Snap Island concept is genuinely clever—treating window groups as actual zones you can name and snap back to feels like something macOS should have shipped with from the start.
Snap Island is such a clever touch, finally a tiling tool that feels built for macOS instead of bolted on.
How well does Snap Island play with multiple monitors and ultra-wide setups? I bounce between a MacBook and a 32-inch display constantly and most window managers fall apart there.
Cmd-Tab Plus alone is worth the install, makes switching between apps way smoother than the default. The Snap Island feature feels right at home on macOS too.
Does Snap Island work with multiple displays, or is it limited to the main screen for those window clusters?
Cmd-Tab Plus alone made this worth installing for me, finally a way to jump straight to the window I actually need instead of cycling through a dozen Chrome tabs. Feels snappy and native.
How does Snap Island play nice with Stage Manager, or do you have to pick one over the other?
I run a Mac mini hooked up to an external display so there's no notch or trackpad in my setup at all. is there a keyboard shortcut to pull up Snap Island and pick a layout without dragging, or is the drag gesture the only way in right now
