Divvy
Divvy is a macOS window management utility that lets you quickly resize and position app windows using a customizable on-screen grid.
What is Divvy?
Divvy is a window management utility for macOS that helps users arrange application windows quickly and precisely. Instead of manually dragging and resizing every window, you can use its grid-based interface to place a window into exact sections of the screen. This makes it useful for multitasking, comparing documents side by side, organizing reference material, or setting up repeatable layouts for work. Divvy also supports keyboard shortcuts, so users can move and resize windows without relying entirely on the mouse or trackpad. It fits well into productivity-focused workflows where screen space matters, especially on smaller displays or multi-window setups. Divvy is published by Mizage and is designed for people who want faster, more consistent control over window placement on their Mac.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Divvy is legitimate window management software for macOS. Accessibility permission is consistent with its purpose because the app needs control over window positioning, and it may also request related automation access for some apps. Grant those permissions only if you want Divvy to manage windows, and review them in System Settings if you no longer use the app.
Recommendation: Keep Divvy if you use custom window layouts or keyboard-driven window placement on your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app and its support files without affecting macOS beyond losing Divvy’s window management features.
