Support

We read every message — email support@panewise.app.

Getting started

1. Open the downloaded Panewise.dmg and drag Panewise to Applications.
2. Open Panewise. It lives in your menu bar, and a short welcome tour sets it up.
3. Allow Accessibility when asked — that's how Panewise moves windows.
4. Optionally allow Screen Recording for live previews in the picker. macOS then asks once more about bypassing its “private window picker” — choose Allow.

Windows don't snap

• Check System Settings › Privacy & Security › Accessibility: Panewise should be switched on. If it already is, switch it off and on again, then relaunch Panewise.
• On macOS 15 or later, make sure “Drag windows to screen edges to tile” is off in System Settings › Desktop & Dock, or macOS will take the drag first.
• Some windows can't be resized by any app — dialogs and fixed-size windows like Calculator. Panewise centres those in the space instead.

The picker shows icons instead of previews

Allow Panewise in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Screen & System Audio Recording, then quit and reopen Panewise.

A shortcut does nothing

Another app may already use it — Rectangle, Magnet and similar apps share the same defaults. Quit them, or change the shortcut in Panewise › Settings › Shortcuts.

Double-tapping ⌃ opens Dictation

macOS can also start Dictation when you press Control twice. Choose a different Dictation shortcut in System Settings › Keyboard › Dictation, or turn off “Double-tap ⌃ to switch this side” in Panewise's settings.

Reporting a problem

Email support@panewise.app with your macOS version, your Panewise version (Panewise › Settings › About) and what you expected to happen. If Panewise crashed, it will offer to attach the crash report for you.
