Moom: layouts for windows.
Moom saves where a set of windows sits and puts them back with a shortcut. Everything you copy still lands in one place, and undoing a layout means reverting windows one by one.
Moom remembers your windows. Flincth remembers your work.
Moom can save a layout and put windows back. Flincth goes further. Each setup keeps its apps, their places and its own clipboard history, one click takes your desk back to how it was, and it all runs sandboxed, from the Mac App Store, for less.
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 layout.
Moom stores window positions. Flincth stores everything that makes a kind of work feel ready.

Why people move to Flincth.
A layout puts windows back. A setup puts your work back: the apps, their places and the snippets that go with them.
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.
Need a pop-up grid and dozens of custom window actions? Moom is built for that. Flincth is built for switching your whole desk between kinds of work.
Good questions.
Is Flincth a Moom alternative?+
Yes, if you use Moom’s saved layouts to switch between kinds of work. Flincth does that switch and also brings each setup’s own clipboard history, an undo for the whole desk, and no Accessibility access.
Why is Flincth on the Mac App Store when Moom is not?+
The Mac App Store requires apps to be sandboxed, and Many Tricks sells Moom 4 only on its own website for that reason. Flincth is sandboxed from the start, so it comes from the Mac App Store and is installed, updated and reviewed by Apple.
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.
