Mac menu bar app
HyperStage
An alternative window manager for Mac: auto grid snap for every monitor size, multi-monitor support, and window spots remembered per screen, from laptop to external display.
Unlike macOS Stage Manager, HyperStage keeps one named stage for each project, lets you switch between them with a key, and snaps your windows into place. Made by Agentic Quarks.
Coming soon to the Mac App Store.
Stages
A stage is a named set of windows for one project. Make one for each thing you work on, then switch between them with a key. The other stages stay out of the way until you want them back.
Stage Dock
A dock that shows only the apps in the stage you are on, so what you see matches what you are working on.
The stage drawer
See all your stages at a glance and jump to any of them, without hunting through a pile of windows.
Grid Snap
Hold Shift while you drag a window and it snaps to a grid that fits the screen, whatever the monitor size. Grid shortcuts move windows from the keyboard, and Ctrl-Option-Space shows a grid map so you can see where a window will land.
Every monitor, remembered
Use a laptop screen, an external display or several at once. HyperStage remembers where your windows sit on each screen, so a window goes back to its spot when you return to that display.
Private by design
HyperStage works entirely on your Mac. No account, no ads, no tracking, and no network access at all.
A menu bar app
It lives in the menu bar and stays quiet until you need it. Quit it and every window comes back.
Free, with a one-time Pro
HyperStage is free to use. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and you can try it free for 30 days. It is sold only through the Mac App Store.
