A better window reflex

Your desktop,
under command.

PanePilot disappears into your menu bar until muscle memory calls for it.

01

Built for your keyboard.

Familiar Spectacle-style defaults, with every shortcut ready to record, clear, or restore.

Tap. Snap. Keep moving.
02

Cross-display without the drag.

Send a window to the next screen while preserving its relative size and position.

One shortcut. Any screen.
03

Undo. Redo. Stay in flow.

Changed your mind? Step backward or forward through recent PanePilot arrangements.

A safety net for every snap.

Yours by default

Shortcuts that fit
your hands.

Record a new shortcut, disable an action, restore the defaults, and start PanePilot when you log in. Changes take effect immediately.
