Purpose: ShiftIt is a macOS window organizer that uses keyboard shortcuts to change window position and size.
Window layouts: Default actions move windows to screen halves and quarters, maximize, center, and toggle full screen.
Ultrawide support: Ultrawide monitor actions divide the screen into thirds or sixths.
Menu bar: The app installs in the menu bar, and its icon can be hidden in preferences.
Shortcut cycling: Repeated presses of a side-snapping shortcut can cycle a window through half-, one-third-, and two-thirds-screen sizes when enabled.
Updates: The project says it uses Sparkle 2.8 for secure automatic updates with EdDSA signing.
Permissions: ShiftIt requires macOS Accessibility permission to manage windows through its shortcuts.
License: The project is licensed under GNU General Public License v3.
Installation: The project instructs users to download a release, move ShiftIt.app to Applications, and grant Accessibility permission when prompted.
