## About

WindowShift is a lightweight, native macOS utility for multi-monitor setups that lets you move windows between displays using keyboard shortcuts.

What sets WindowShift apart:

Fast and responsive.
Works with full-screen windows.
Shortcuts aren't tied to specific displays — they move windows relative to their current geometric position.
Automatically follows your macOS display layout.
Flexible resizing options let you maintain edge alignment, preserve window size or your tiling layout.
