macOS menu-bar utility with one keyboard grammar and smooth animations for windows, monitors, and Spaces — arrange, focus, and return without touching the mouse.
macOS 14 or later · Apple Silicon & Intel · signed and notarized
Modifiers are nouns, keys are verbs. Four chords cover everything on screen — and the pattern never changes.
Focus moves through what’s on screen, in spatial order — not app order.
Jump displays. Each one remembers the exact window you last used there.
Walk Spaces in Mission Control order, full-screen apps included.
Add Shift to any chord to send the focused window there instead of moving to it.
Hold the chord and a hotbar appears. Arrows, numbers, brackets, and scroll all drive the same list — release commits, Escape restores everything.
← → and [ ] step the same hotbar. Whichever your hands already know.
1–9 and 0 select the first ten targets directly. No stepping.
Hold the chord and scroll — independent of your Natural Scrolling setting.
Cancel returns focus, Space, and pointer to exactly where the session began.
Columns on an ultrawide, rows on a portrait monitor, a grid on a laptop. The first press is a good guess — press again for the next candidate.
Walk the ranking of layouts that actually fit. Past the last one, everything returns to where it started.
When an app won’t shrink, its minimum size is remembered — impossible layouts are never offered twice.
Cycle which window holds which slot without changing the arrangement.
Rank each display independently, or spread one app’s windows across all of them.
The returns and captures that decide whether a tool survives a real workday.
Back to the previous window — and the exact text field you were focused in — however you left it.
Screenshot the monitor under your pointer, delivered into the composer you were writing in. Clipboard restored.
Focus whichever window — or browser tab — is actually playing audio.
Tabs, lines, and pages of the focused window, on the same grammar.
⌃⌥Space searches every command and your current shortcut bindings.
Window motion runs on your display’s cadence — 60 or 120 Hz — and yields to your mouse instantly.
Clear only the display under the pointer, or all of them with Shift. Repeat to restore.
⌘⌥-click windows in order, then arrange or send exactly those.
Halves, thirds, corners, fill, and exact restore from one held arrow family.
Every ring, glow, and animation can be switched off — or follows the system setting.
A native menu-bar app. No Electron, no browser runtime, nothing watching in the background.
Every capability in every plan. No tiers, no feature gates.

Pre-release pricing — final pricing is announced at 1.0.
macOS requires it to focus and move windows that belong to other apps — there is no other API. DevControl reads nothing in the background; it acts only when you press a shortcut.
That is the point. Monitors, Spaces, and full-screen apps are first-class, and each display remembers its own last-used window.
Every family is rebindable. A family is recorded once and applies to all of its arrows, brackets, and number keys atomically.
No. DevControl is built directly on macOS APIs and is macOS-only.
Signed Sparkle updates, delivered directly from moota.studio. If the update host is ever unreachable, the app keeps working normally.
DevControl is complete and used daily at the studio, but has not had its public 1.0. Pricing and packaging may change at launch.
