Snap, hide, and close windows faster
Your trackpad can do so much more than you think if you pair it with Swish. Get a set of quick trackpad gestures out of the box to optimize your flow.
Get redundant windows out of your way
Too many active windows is an everyday challenge. Declutter your workspace with Swish.
Swish offers you to apply quick gestures to close, minimize, or hide windows. Click the ones you’d like to use to activate them in Swish and give it a try.
Notice you have to apply gestures on a window’s title bar.
Our favorites:
Pinch in once to close a window
Swipe down once to minimize a window
Pinch in twice to close an app.
Snap with effortless swipes
Next pain point — snapping windows so you can multitask conveniently.
Here, again, Swish has some great time savers:
Swipe horizontally to snap to the left or right
Swipe horizontally and vertically to snap to a quarter
Swipe up once to activate full-screen.
And there’s more!
Important: set up your “active” Swish areas
Since you don’t want to trigger Swish accidentally, there are certain “active” areas where the triggers will work. Most convenient, in our humble opinion, is to use window title bars.
But you can also trigger actions on the app menu (next to the Apple icon), invoke global actions on the empty menu bar area, etc. There are checkboxes for each option in Preferences.
Want to make the whole window Swish-active? No problem! Go to Preferences > Advanced and set a super modifier. Apply it alongside your tapping, swiping, and pinching to activate quick actions on any area of the window.
