Rectangle Pro
Rectangle Pro is a macOS window management app that helps you move, snap, resize, and organize windows with shortcuts and cursor gestures.
What is Rectangle Pro?
Rectangle Pro is a native macOS utility for arranging and controlling app windows more efficiently. It is designed for people who work with multiple apps, displays, or repeated window layouts and want faster ways to organize their workspace. Created by Ryan Hanson, the app extends the Rectangle window-management workflow with additional placement, throwing, hiding, and multi-window controls. Users can snap windows into common positions, move them across displays, trigger actions with keyboard shortcuts or cursor-based gestures, and customize commands to fit their setup. It also supports importing settings from Rectangle and syncing configuration over iCloud, which is useful for users who switch between Macs. For everyday multitasking on macOS, Rectangle Pro fits best as a focused desktop utility that reduces manual window arranging.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Rectangle Pro is legitimate window management software for macOS. To move and control other app windows, it may request Accessibility access, which is normal for this type of utility. If you remove it, its window snapping, shortcut, and layout features will stop working, but it should not affect your files. As with any app that can control windows, grant permissions only if you intend to use its features and download updates from the developer's official site.
Recommendation: Keep Rectangle Pro if you use custom window layouts, keyboard-driven window movement, or multi-display workflows on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer want its window management features or prefer a simpler setup, knowing that your saved layouts and shortcut behavior in the app may no longer be available.
