What changed in Gridly
Every released version, newest first. Every future update is included in one purchase.
-
1.1.3
LatestTitle-bar gestures now use the standard macOS title-bar height, so they no longer cover tab bars in apps like VS Code and Cursor.
-
1.1.2
Left and right swipes now adjust width in 12 columns. The first swipe is still a half; swipe toward the edge again to snap to the narrowest column, then grow or shrink one column at a time. After you go into a corner from the top or bottom, you can still change that corner’s width.
The menu bar icon is clearer on both light and dark menu bars.
Fixed a bug where, after opening Settings, windows in the area covered by the panel could not be controlled with gestures.
-
1.1.1
Settings and Help have been reorganized: related options sit together, and Help follows the same structure so you can find a gesture without hunting.
Less-used gestures — width steps, restore, minimize, and Esc undo — each have a switch in Settings. Turn one off and the swipe falls back to the previous step instead of doing nothing. Half screen, corners and maximize stay on.
-
1.1.0
Left and right swipes now go further than halves: keep swiping toward the same edge and the window steps through narrow — half — wide. Settings lets you pick the extra pair of widths (1/3 & 2/3, or 1/4 & 3/4). Swiping down three times minimizes the window; the third stroke must travel farther so it never happens by accident.
After you snap a window, Gridly can fill the space left over with your recent windows — automatically, or one candidate at a time with “Let me pick a window” (off by default). Changed your mind? Press Esc within five seconds and every window that moved goes back where it was.
Five accent colours (Gridly orange, Graphite, Blue, Green, Purple) now theme the interface, the window preview and the app icon. The About window shows your Accessibility permission at a glance, and swiping on Gridly’s own Settings or About windows no longer moves the windows behind them.
-
1.0.7
If you have set “Down → Down” to restore a window to a comfortable size and centre it, you can now say how big that is. A new slider in Settings runs from 25% to 95%, and starts at 60%. The number is an area, so 25% comes out exactly the size of a corner quarter — by edge length it would be a sixteenth of the screen, smaller than anything else Gridly does. Wherever you drag it is what you get; there is no readable-range clamping on top of your choice any more.
The checkboxes in Settings, that new slider, and the paste link on the License tab now use Gridly’s own accent colour instead of the system blue.
-
1.0.6
Fixed a mis-trigger while rotating: swiping around the four corners no longer turns into maximize or restore when the rotation passes the top or the bottom. “Up → Up” and “Down → Down” now only count when they open the gesture.
Windows now glide to their snapped position instead of jumping there. You can switch the animation off in Settings; apps too slow to keep up fall back to an instant move on their own.
-
1.0.5
New gesture: swipe down then down again on a title bar to restore a window. It goes back to the position and size it had before you snapped it, and comes to the front afterwards.
Gridly remembers the free-floating position from before the first snap, not the last one — so snapping left half and then top-left quarter still restores all the way back, rather than one step.
In Settings you can switch the gesture to “Comfortable size, centered” instead, which resizes the window to a readable size and centres it on the screen it is on.
-
1.0.4
Maximizing a window (up + up) now brings it to the front and gives it keyboard focus. Half and quarter snaps deliberately leave focus alone, so you can lay out several windows in a row without being interrupted.
The shared settings window now opens centred on the screen you are working on, instead of always on the primary display.
Every menu bar item now carries an icon, and the interface language is a dropdown instead of a long list of radio buttons. Refreshed the app icon and matched the window accent colour to it; alerts and the About tab no longer show a stale icon.
-
1.0.3
Improved the Accessibility permission flow: Gridly now shows its own prompt first and opens System Settings without stacking the system Accessibility Access dialog.
Aligned permission alert copy across all supported languages with the English content.
-
1.0.2
Fixed an issue where the system screenshot overlay could capture the target window, preventing it from snapping to the previewed position after the gesture ended.
Improved gesture cancellation, target window selection, and snap result verification.
-
1.0.1
Fixed an issue that prevented pasting with Command-V in the license fields.
