Hey there! I love using the trackpad on my MacBook Pro and always wondered why its excellent gesture recognition does not extend to controlling windows and apps. Also, dragging-based window managers suck on a multi-monitor setup. So after graduating, I spontaneously decided to learn Swift and make this idea reality. You will most likely need a short time to get familiar with Swish's gesture system, especially for advanced features like pausing gestures, chaining from dock and screen switching, but after that, 'swishing' becomes second nature and you won't be able to live without it. There are a lot of details to discover. The documentation for Swish is its preferences window, so read thoroughly! This launch turned out to be sliiiiightly stressful as I wanted to get Swish out before WWDC on Monday and I had to rethink some core components after realizing that apps using the Accessibility API cannot be published to the App Store anymore. Oops. There is a 7 day trial period, after that Swish is 5€/$/£ for a limited time. Swish is notarized by Apple, so it's ready for the latest Mojave update (10.14.5). Let me know if you need help enabling system permissions! I really hope you like it and although I call myself 'highly opinionated', I am always open to suggestions, so bring 'em on!

@chrfyi Really nice work, Christian. I'm a heavy Alfred and keyboard shortcut user so this could be the missing piece for me! Who do you see this product being for? I'm always amazed that people don't know about the native gestures that are already available to them.

@iammarcthomas I'm glad you like it! It's mostly aimed at trackpad power user, "casual" MacBook users seem a bit overwhelmed at first. Everyone loves the swipe down to minimize gesture though. Most of the gestures also work on Magic Mice, although it feels a bit clumsy to me — maybe because I'm not used to working with a mouse anymore.

@chrfyi Really loving Swish so far! I'm not able to find the documentation in the preferences window though. Where can I find it?

Why didn't apple think of this? 🤔

apple always leave some opportunities to developer, maybe @jovisjoseph

Really love this app. I see that it uses native Apple's "natural scrolling" touchpad setting. Would be perfect if you could implement not "natural" gestures because every gesture now is upside-down :D

@thebezzo Will be included in the next update, either by automatic detection or a switch in the settings!

@chrfyi Great to hear! Can't wait for it :D

Super
amazing product, congrats team! I'd just want to exit fullscreen but it doesn't look like there is a gesture for this? anyway, super neat!

@christophepas That's actually the only gesture that I'm not quite happy with. Most intuitive should be pinching in, but that should be reserved for close and quit and I did not want to require three pinches for quitting from fullscreen. So to answer your question, you can use the same gestures you use to enter fullscreen — double tap, pinching out and swiping up (no modifier key required to exit).
Jack Chen
yeah, it's great answer, I am clear on how to recover a fullscreen to max window mode @christophepas @chrfyi

Love this app. It solves the problem of window management in Mac.

Pros:

Very Responsive and works really well Once you get used to it, its hard to look back.

Cons:

None so far. (Impact on battery needs to be tested)
