## About

Butterfly arranges Mac windows side by side on a scrolling strip instead of stacking or shrinking them. Swipe with a trackpad, scroll with a mouse, or use keyboard shortcuts to move between windows, reorder columns, and keep focus on the one you need.

Built for people working with many windows across coding, design, writing, and research, Butterfly includes up to nine workspaces, overview and strip maps, stacks and tabs, desktop access, and support for multiple displays. It runs on macOS 14 or later, supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs, and offers a seven-day free trial without a card or account.
