All windows at once
The core difference from one-window-at-a-time tools: a single click arranges everything visible on screen into your chosen layout.
Arrange every window with one click.
Requires macOS 13.0 or later · One-time purchase. No subscription.
Setting up your workspace means dragging and resizing every window by hand. Tools like Rectangle move one window at a time — you still do all the choreography yourself.
Staged arranges all of your visible windows at once, from a single menu bar click. Pick a layout and every window snaps into place, respecting the margins and gaps you set.
The core difference from one-window-at-a-time tools: a single click arranges everything visible on screen into your chosen layout.
Side-by-side, focus splits, primary-plus-stack, columns and grids for 2 through 6 windows — the arrangements you actually use.
Click the same layout again to rotate which window sits where, keeping your spatial memory intact instead of reshuffling everything.
Staged learns which apps prefer smaller windows — Terminal, Calculator — and automatically tucks them into the smaller slots. Manual overrides stick.
Reserve space for the Dock and Stage Manager and set the spacing between windows with a visual, draggable editor.
Always reachable from the menu bar, even when windows cover the screen. Works with or without Stage Manager. Native Swift, tiny footprint.
Staged requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later.
macOS only allows apps to move and resize other apps’ windows through the Accessibility API. Staged asks for this permission during setup and uses it solely to arrange your windows.
No. Staged works with or without Stage Manager. If you use it, set a left margin so your windows leave room for the Stage Manager strip.
Rectangle arranges one window at a time. Staged applies a layout to all visible windows at once, and can cycle their positions with repeated clicks.
Click a layout once to apply it; click again to rotate which window occupies which slot, so you can change focus without dragging anything.
After a few uses, Staged classifies each app as “small” or “large” based on the window sizes you use, and prefers small apps for the smaller slots. You can override any classification.
Open the downloaded disk image and drag Staged to Applications. On first launch, right-click the app and choose Open to approve it in Gatekeeper.
