ClutterFreeMac vs Divvy
Divvy resizes a window by selecting cells on a grid. ClutterFreeMac lays every window out on a strip that scrolls past the screen. How the two compare.
Divvy is a window app built around a grid: press its shortcut, drag across the cells you want, and the window fills that part of the screen. You can save grid selections as shortcuts.
How they differ
| Divvy | ClutterFreeMac | |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Divide the screen with a grid | A strip of columns that scrolls |
| What you do | Pick cells for the window in front | Nothing; new windows join the strip |
| Windows you do not divide | Stay where they are and overlap | Line up beside the others |
Who should pick which
Pick Divvy if you like carving the screen precisely, one window at a time. Pick ClutterFreeMac if dividing the screen keeps making your windows smaller and you want them all full size instead, side by side on a strip.
