Divvy: a grid for one window.
Call up the grid, drag across the cells you want, and the front window fills them. Then the next window, and the next. Divvy’s last update, version 1.5.2, came out in August 2019.
Divvy stopped in 2019. Your Mac kept going.
Divvy’s grid was a clever way to size one window. It has not been updated since August 2019. Flincth is built for the Mac you have now: one switch moves every app’s window into place, hides the apps you don’t need, and brings up the clipboard history for that work, for less than Divvy costs.
Flincth: every window, one switch.
A setup names the apps for a kind of work and the region each one belongs to. Switch to it and they all move at once, and the clipboard shows only what you copied for that work.

More than a grid.
Divvy sizes the window in front of you. Flincth sets up the whole desk for the work in front of you.

Why Divvy users move to Flincth.
If you liked Divvy for putting windows exactly where you want them, Flincth does that for every window at once, and remembers it.
Your desk, ready in one switch
Coding, writing, meetings: each setup knows its apps and where they go. No more dragging the same windows into the same places every morning.
The right snippets, not all of them
Each setup keeps its own clipboard history, so client notes never turn up in your code and yesterday’s research stays with the research.
Fewer permissions to hand out
Flincth never asks for Accessibility access. It moves windows through the “Flincth Apply” shortcut you install once in Apple Shortcuts.
Nothing to lose by trying
“Not Flincth” puts your desk back exactly as it was, one click away. Your setups and clipboard history never leave your Mac.
Still happy drawing one window at a time on a grid? Divvy will keep doing that for as long as it runs. Flincth is for when you want the whole desk back with one switch.
Good questions.
Is Divvy still maintained?+
Divvy is still on the Mac App Store, but its latest version, 1.5.2, was released in August 2019. Flincth was released in 2026 and is updated for current macOS.
What is a good Divvy alternative?+
If you used Divvy to put the same windows in the same places every day, Flincth saves that arrangement as a setup and restores it with one switch, across every display, with its own clipboard history.
Why does Flincth need a shortcut instead of Accessibility access?+
Flincth is sandboxed and never asks for Accessibility access. It moves windows through the “Flincth Apply” shortcut, which you install once in Apple Shortcuts. The app walks you through it.
Can Flincth move windows between desktops?+
No. It places ordinary windows on the current desktop and does not move them between Mission Control desktops or into or out of full screen.
Does Flincth snap windows when I drag them?+
No. Flincth applies your layout when you switch setups. It does not watch for drags or rearrange windows afterwards.
Stop rebuilding the same desk.
One switch for the windows. One clipboard for the work.
