Features
Built for fast native macOS window management
Tile Me keeps the current feature set focused: efficient window placement, multiple displays, compact settings, and a recursive layout engine ready for richer layouts later.
Multi-display support
Assign layouts per display, copy them where needed, and move windows naturally between screens.
Directional movement
Use arrow-based traversal to move to the nearest valid tile above, below, left, or right across your display setup.
Future-ready layout core
Layouts are powered by recursive split trees, so the foundation already supports nested and uneven regions.
Native menu bar experience
Quick actions, layout selection, settings, help, support, and update checks all live in a restrained menu bar workflow.
Lightweight release flow
Tile Me ships through GitHub releases and can check for a new version without installing background services.
How it works
A short tiling loop that stays out of the way
Pick a layout
Choose a built-in layout from the menu bar or assign layouts per display in Settings.
Move the focused window
Use direct tile shortcuts, maximize, next-display movement, or arrow traversal to reach the next tile.
Control
Option
Arrow keys
Fine-tune later
Shortcut bindings can be customized in Settings, while Help, Support, and update checks stay easy to reach.
Visual showcase
Current functionality, shown instead of buried in copy
Tile a window fast
Built-in layouts already sit on a recursive tile model, so simple grids and uneven regions share the same core engine.
Traverse with arrows
Directional traversal follows real tile geometry, not tile numbers, so it works across grids, uneven regions, and nested layouts.
Work across displays
When there is no valid tile in the requested direction on the current display, Tile Me continues searching across the display arrangement.

FAQ
Common questions before you download
What does Tile Me do?
Tile Me is a native macOS menu bar utility that moves and resizes the focused window into keyboard-friendly tile layouts across one or more displays.
Why does Tile Me need Accessibility permission?
macOS requires Accessibility access before one app can inspect and move another app’s windows. Tile Me uses that permission only for window control features.
What if macOS says the app is from an unidentified developer?
Because current public builds are not signed and notarized, you may need to open the app once, then go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.
Can I customize shortcuts?
Yes. Tile Me includes shortcut settings for direct tile placement, directional movement, maximize, and display movement.
Where do I find help later?
Quick Start and Support are both available from the app’s menu bar and from Settings, and Tile Me can also check GitHub releases for updates.
