Respects your snaps
Snap a window to a half, a quarter, or a third — by drag, keyboard, or the green-button menu — and Phil recognizes the shape and leaves it alone.
Drift? Corrected.
New windows fill the screen on launch and stay filled as you work. Nudge a maximized window out of place and Phil glides it back, pixel-perfect.
Every display
Each window fills the screen it's actually on. One monitor or five, every desktop stays tidy.
Out of the way
Phil lives in the menu bar, sips no CPU, and starts at login. Pause it or exclude any app, any time.
How Phil works
-
Grant Accessibility once
On first launch, macOS asks one time. That's the only permission Phil needs — it reads window geometry and never sees your screen.
-
Phil sweeps every 0.75 seconds
Any standard window that isn't filling its screen glides to pixel-perfect maximized. New windows fill the moment they appear.
-
Your snaps stay sacred
Halves, quarters, and thirds are recognized geometrically — drag, keyboard-snap, or the green-button menu are all respected. Bring a snapped window back toward full and Phil takes over again.
Tidy desktop. Zero effort.
