FAQs
What does MacSpot do?
MacSpot lets you search for installed Mac apps, open them together, and arrange their windows in a layout.
How do I open and use it?
Press ⌘ Esc to open MacSpot. Search and select apps, choose a layout, then press ⌘ Return to launch and arrange them. You can change the opening shortcut in Settings.
Which layouts can I choose?
Choose Focus, Monarch, Mirror, Dominant, Triad, Triad Right, Quadra, or Chain. Chain creates a scrollable row; hold Option and scroll to move through the windows.
What if I select more apps than a layout has spaces?
In fixed layouts, extra windows share the final tile. Turn on Stack indicator in Settings to mark that tile.
Why don’t some apps fit or adapt to the chosen layout?
Certain macOS apps (such as System Settings, Calculator, or apps with fixed window limits) enforce minimum sizes or restrict resizing. When a window cannot stretch or shrink to fill its tile, MacSpot lets it float naturally at its standard size.
What are MacSpot’s requirements and limitations?
MacSpot needs macOS 14 or later and Accessibility permission to arrange windows. It doesn’t save app groups, and some apps block resizing or enforce minimum window sizes.
Does MacSpot switch between Spaces?
No. MacSpot arranges windows on the current macOS Space. Switch to the Space you want before launching.
Can I change the space between windows?
Yes. In Settings, switch Space between windows on or off. Stack indicator is there too.
Is MacSpot a subscription?
No. It is a one-time purchase. Checkout shows the price and any tax before payment; your license key is emailed after purchase.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer full refunds within 7 days of purchase. If you would like to request a refund, please send an email to support@onesnzero.com with your order details.
Can I use my license on another Mac?
Only one Mac can be active at a time. Deactivate the current Mac in Settings before activating another one.
Does MacSpot need an internet connection?
Activation and license checks need internet. After a successful check, MacSpot can run offline for up to three days.
What data does MacSpot store?
Your settings and recent-app list stay on your Mac. License checks send your key and a device ID to the license service.
