How to Restore a Mac Window After Moving It

When working on your Mac, you might need to look at another window behind the one you are currently working in. For example, when writing in Notes, you might open Safari to do some research and drag the Notes window to the side. Once you are done, you have to drag the window back into place manually.

You can minimize the window instead, but then you cannot see it at all. With ScreenPlace, you can move a window to the side whenever you need to and restore its position with a single click.

Save the Size and Position of the Window

Place a window where you want it and save its current size and position with a single click using ScreenPlace’s badge, or configure precise X, Y, width, and height values in ScreenPlace. You can also add all of your open windows at once.

Put the Window Back Into Place with the Badge

The badge is a floating companion that stays close to each of your windows. Once the size and position of the window are configured in ScreenPlace for your current display configuration, you can move the window as usual and always use the badge to snap it back into place with a single click.

Update the Size and Position

If you move or resize a window and would like to update its size and position configured in ScreenPlace, you can also use the badge for this.

Badge Stays Out of the Way

The badge hides automatically when the size and position of a window already match what is configured in ScreenPlace. It only appears when a window is not in its place.
