// one install, your Mac is ready

One app.
Replace twelve.

Everything you reinstall on a new Mac — window control, screenshots, clipboard, recording — in one calm menubar app that feels like it shipped with macOS. Hold ctrl cmd, drag any window from anywhere.

// grab any window, anywhere — no title bar, no corner-hunting

// what’s inside

Four tools. One menubar icon.

Each one used to be a separate app, half of them paid. Macaveli does all of it, free, in 14 MB.

Window control

replaces Rectangle · Magnet · BetterTouchTool · Loop

Move and resize from anywhere.

Hold ctrl + cmd and drag any window from any point — no title bar, no corner-hunting. Snap to halves, maximize, re-center in one keystroke each. Quadrant-aware resize. Raycast can't do this.

Screenshots & annotation

replaces CleanShot X · Shottr · Preview markup

Capture, mark up, share.

Grab a region to the clipboard, then annotate it in place — arrows, text, shapes, select and resize. No round-trip through another app.

Clipboard history

replaces Paste · Maccy · Raycast clipboard

Every copy, one keystroke away.

A searchable history of what you've copied, kept locally. Pull up the panel, find it, paste it. Nothing leaves your Mac.

Screen recording

replaces Loom · CleanShot X · QuickTime

Record from a hotkey.

One hotkey starts and stops a recording of your display. MP4 or GIF, optional optimization pass. No dialogs, no countdown nag, no upload.

// why it exists

I got a new MacBook and dreaded the next two hours — Rectangle, CleanShot, Loom, twelve more. Then I noticed I was reinstalling the same handful every time. The rest was noise.

Macaveli is what’s left when you keep only the essentials and put them in one place. Install it once. Skip the other twelve.

// default hotkeys

Every key, rebindable.

These ship as defaults. Change any of them in the menu bar popover.
