So many good options nowadays! I think a few years ago, you would only find a handful of projects focusing on similar matters.

Cool! Let me know what you come up with. :)

Hah. :)

You could create a shortcut that will always focus the window easily.

I’m really happy people are sharing these! +1

There’s some examples of custom configurations here: https://github.com/kasper/phoenix/wiki/ .

Say for example you want to do something dynamically when an app launches. You could open an app and the windows would automatically be arranged across your monitors the way you wa…

Both Phoenix and Hammerspoon are free and open-source. You can also configure them in endless ways, so either you can have a really simple setup or a very dynamic one that works ju…

In many conceptual ways, such as sharing the same language for configuration, though this is a completely different project so they don’t share the same origin. Slate has become ra…

This release includes some exiting new and requested features: including support for Spaces, creating timers to achieve delays or timed events and support for running Phoenix compl…

Thanks! Yes, definitely! Although it’s a bit harder since the app itself doesn’t do anything. Maybe a video tutorial for new users?

Hi, undoubtably true! Phoenix has been around since 2013. It has become established in the OS X window manager scene. It’s also exceedingly hard nowadays to come up with a product …

Ah, thanks! I’m new to HN. :)

I just released Phoenix 2.0! I took over the project this summer and rewrote it from the ground up. :) Phoenix is a lightweight OS X window and app manager scriptable with JavaScri…
