Quintile

Keyboard-only grid tiling for macOS.

https://github.com/stefanopineda/quintile/raw/main/docs/demos/hero.mp4

Place any window on any N×M span — two keypresses, no mouse.

arbitrary grids — 5×2, 4×3, whatever fits the display

span picker — ⌃⌥G, two cells, done

presets + profiles — thirds, quarters, three grids per display

public Accessibility API only — no SIP hacks, no private frameworks

free, MIT · Developer ID signed & notarized

install

brew install --cask stefanopineda/quintile/quintile

or:

brew tap stefanopineda/quintile<br>brew install --cask quintile

or download Quintile.app.zip · or git clone + make run

Official brew install quintile (homebrew/cask) is blocked until the GitHub repo meets Homebrew notability (~225 stars / 90 forks / 90 watchers). We submitted PR #274471; maintainers asked to resubmit once thresholds are met.

after install

Quintile is a menu bar app (no Dock icon).

Open it: Spotlight (⌘Space ) → Quintile → Enter (or /Applications/Quintile.app)

Look for ⊞! / ⊞ near the clock

System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → Quintile ON

(if it already looks ON after an update: OFF then ON, then Check Again )

Click a window → hold Control+Option → press [ (left third)

Full map later: menu bar ⊞ → Quick Start…

upgrade / reinstall / “already installed”

brew reinstall --cask stefanopineda/quintile/quintile # preferred<br># if install says "latest version is already installed" but the app is gone:<br>brew uninstall --cask --force --zap stefanopineda/quintile/quintile<br>brew install --cask stefanopineda/quintile/quintile

brew install does not reinstall when Homebrew still has a cask receipt.<br>Deleting the app in Finder is not a full uninstall.

keys

Start with thirds. Everything else is optional.

chord<br>action

⌃⌥[ ] \<br>left / center / right third
