BentoBox 1.1.7 for Mac
BentoBox is a window manager for macOS that improves productivity by allowing you to arrange windows into customizable zones.It is a universal window manager that allows you to arrange windows into customizable zones to organize your workspace.
The application supports multiple monitors, allowing you to create a custom layout for each. You can use the touchpad, mouse, or keyboard to move windows into zones.
Some features of BentoBox:
- -Layout creation. You can create your own layouts and arrange windows in predefined zones using keyboard shortcuts or mouse gestures.
- – Window placement. Using intuitive keyboard shortcuts, you can quickly arrange windows into customizable layout zones.
- – Moving and distributing windows. Optimize your workspace by moving windows between zones or distributing them across multiple zones using simple keyboard shortcuts.
What’s new in v1.1.7
- More reliable Settings scrolling: the General tab now uses the same scrollable height as Shortcuts, so longer content stays contained and easier to browse
- Cleaner snapping around App windows: BentoBox ignores its own windows when watching for snap gestures, so the snap overlay no longer appears while you use the Settings window

- Multiple layouts per monitor with per-Space layouts that follow macOS Spaces
- Snap while dragging (right-click or Shift), per-zone shortcuts, and optional dragless snap (⌘⇧)
