Easily move and resize windows. Hold modifier keys and drag the mouse to adjust size and position. Hummingbird is a macOS utility that makes window management a breeze.

Would buy immediately after having tried, but the price feels a bit high for such a small tool. Could you maybe consider moving it down to the $9 to $12 range? It's not a non-brainer otherwise, sadly :(

@denisandrejew Hi Denis, I personally feel $18 is not too much to ask for a tool I use virtually every hour I'm using my Mac but I understand if people have financial constraints or for example live in a region where $18 translates to a dramatically different value. I've run a few 50% discounts since launching and I will do so again! You could wait for that to happen. Or get in touch with me directly if you're a student or for some other reason think a discount should apply.

@mihailtugushev I'm afraid that campaign is over! However, you may have caught word of another campaign on the Stacktrace podcast that used the offer code SPELUNK for a $6 discount. I have a hunch it might still work ;)

This looks cool, well done Sven! I use BetterTouchTool for window management and have keyboard shortcuts like: "` then 1" to snap window to left 2/3 of screen and "` then 2" to snap to right 1/3 of screen etc. Have you considered integrating window snapping of some kind?

@alxcnwy Thanks for your kind words! I'm a huge fan of tiling and snapping as well - and I use Moom for that. I find it works very well in conjunction with Hummingbird. In fact so well, that I'm not sure what exactly I could add at this point. But never say never! :)

@_sa_s ah cool, i used to use moom before i switched to BTT. i like being able to customize touchpad actions with BTT eg 2 finger turn circle to adjust volume like a DJ 😎

@alxcnwy That's wild, I'd be worried to accidentally blast myself out of my chair with a clumsy gesture 🤣

@_sa_s hahaha well the 4 finger sequential tap (pinkie then ring finger then middle finger then pointing finger) starts playing hardcore gangsta rap which sometimes does make me half eject myself if i do it by accident 😅

Great App! The way it is made to be click-less is amazing. Good work! A few suggestions: 1. A better hummingbird logo. 2. Pixels information is not useful, remove or place it in preference menu. 3. More features such as removing the icon from menu, start with system start-up.

@chronikey There were some issues around notarisation and the Sparkle auto-update framework but I'll definitely revisit this as soon as possible!

@_sa_s Thank you. Now that this app is getting so much attention, it is a good time to update the app. Let us know when the update is ready so that we can manually install for the last time.

@chronikey Actually - I completely forgot to mention that if you are a Homebrew user you can already get semi-automatic updates by installing Hummingbird via homebrew cask: "brew tap finestructure/Hummingbird && brew cask install Hummingbird"

Thank you for this! Have been looking for something like this for a long time. Do you know of an equivalent on Windows? Not sure why this super powerful window management isn't used more. It's much faster than clicking somewhere to move and resize windows.

@jesselperry I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that as I haven't used Windows in a long, long time! It's a very common feature for unix/linux window managers though, or at least the ones I used to use in the 90s - showing my age here ;)

Very slick! I've tried lots of window managers (BTT, Magnet, et.) but this seems really intuitive. Good work!

I currently use Spectacle but the one thing that would be super useful (that Windows has but Mac doesn't) is a show desktop button that minimizes all windows.

@parag_r Interesting idea, thanks for your feedback!

Just some suggestions on my end, otherwise awesome tool! - Making windows focus when I move or resize them - Additional setting to use key shortcut + mouse click to move and resize, Since this is default for me to mouse click things already, I found it hard to just move the mouse without clicking.. it felt unnatural and hard to use

@rigo_ortiz Thanks, Rigo! I have to admit I made Hummingbird precisely so I *don't* have to click the mouse but I'll think about bringing that back. In the meantime, if you're able to build Mac software yourself here's an open source project that should do what you're looking for: https://github.com/dmarcotte/eas...
