Plash VS Rectangle

Plash - Price: Free Menu bar app for macOS that allows you to create and manage web apps as if they were native apps.

Any monitor I’m not currently using displays a set of prod graphs / monitoring / observability tooling (I use Plash https://sindresorhus.com/plash to load Grafana dashboards as my desktops) — they were hidden in the above photo for NDA reasons.

My free Plash app lets you make any website your desktop wallpaper, which could include videos, visualisations, etc. Some ideas.

I saw your post here about running multiple instances, however I'm running an older build of the app (due to an older OS) so I can't download and run the other builds of Plash with different bundle ID's you've uploaded.

You could use my (free) Plash app for this. Simply make a index.html file with the text you want. Could just be

I use Plash, an app that allows you to overlay a website on your desktop. The website is running locally on my machine and uses a GraphQL API I made for the stats.

Rectangle’s installation is incredibly straightforward. Its immediate out-of-the-box functionality was a pleasant surprise. For anyone seeking to reduce the friction of window management on their Mac, Rectangle is a solution I wholeheartedly recommend.

Tip: I use Rectangle app to set up keyboard shortcuts to resize windows (I only have three shortcuts there: left/right half of the screen and full screen).

But Raycast also has some functionality in that direction.

Two more little utilities that I cannot live without on Mac:

A tiling window manager like https://rectangleapp.com/

Muzzle, which automatically silences desktop notifs when you're screensharing https://muzzleapp.com/

I suggest using Rectangle instead of Magnet; it has the same features but is free. I don't know what other Windows features you want to have.

I’ve used this app forever. Adds in all the window snapping features.

third-party window management apps like Magnet and Rectangle

Rectangle Mac - Move and resize windows in macOS using keyboard shortcuts or snap areas, similar to Windows.

I was a Spectacle user for years, but I recently switched to using Rectangle for window management. Rectangle has a few more options than Spectacle; I’m still getting used to it but I have no strong feelings either way.
