Swish.The missing gesture layer for macOS.
Swish is a window manager built around trackpad and Magic Mouse gestures. It lets you arrange, resize, minimize, close, and move windows with short gestures on a title bar instead of dragging them to screen edges or memorizing a large set of shortcuts.
The workflow is physical and immediate. Swipe a window into a grid position, pinch to close it, swipe down to minimize it, or move it between displays and spaces without taking your hands away from the pointing device.
Swish is designed for people who already like Apple’s input hardware and want that hardware to do more. It keeps window management close to macOS conventions while making multi-window work feel quicker and more spatial.
Features
- Use around thirty configurable gestures for window snapping, Dock and menu bar actions, and workspace management.
- Snap windows into 2×2, 3×2, and 3×3 layouts with a title-bar swipe, then resize adjacent windows together by dragging a divider.
- Close, minimize, and enter full screen with pinch and swipe gestures instead of aiming for window controls.
- Move windows between displays based on their physical arrangement and work more quickly across macOS spaces.
- Use Magic Trackpad, Magic Mouse, or supported keyboard shortcuts when a gesture is not the preferred input.
- Toggle individual gestures and use the built-in tutorial to avoid conflicts with existing habits.
Where it fits
Swish is a strong fit for trackpad-heavy MacBook and desktop workflows where windows are constantly being rearranged. It is especially useful with large or multiple displays, when a pointer-driven layout tool feels more natural than a shortcut-only window manager.
It is less compelling for people who use a conventional mouse without touch emulation or who prefer fixed keyboard shortcuts. Its gesture vocabulary also takes a little practice before it becomes automatic.
