Today, I released a macOS app I made — Tsubame. This is the first app release in my life. I did it! I started this project two months ago, and finally released it. I'll continue development as an independent developer. I'm happy. Onward!

🐦 Tsubame v1.2.10 — First binary release! 🎉

macOS window manager for multi-display users.

⌃⌘→ Move between displays
⌃⌘↑ Snapshot positions
⌃⌘↓ Restore after wake

100% open source. Read, fork, make it yours.

Feedback welcome!

Today was a tiring day, too. I finished building my macOS software — Tsubame. It's a window manager that memorizes window positions and restores them when you reconnect your monitor. This is the software I wanted. So, I made it — with an AI assistant!

🎉 Tsubame v1.2.8 released!

macOS app that remembers window positions across display reconnections.

✅ 5 snapshot slots (home/office/presentation)
✅ Instant hotkey changes
✅ Hotkey conflict detection

6 issues closed. Stability over elegance.

Today I developed my macOS app "Tsubame" (a window manager) from 5am to 9pm. I've been working on this project for 1.5 months. Previously, I gave up macOS development because Xcode's domain-specific terms were too difficult for me.

Continuing work on Tsubame, my open-source macOS window manager!

Latest updates:
🌐 i18n support - switch between EN/JP in settings
⚡ Improved display timing controls

Next up: binary release. Stay tuned!

Similar apps exist, but none solved MY specific problem. So I built it myself. I work in HR, involved in internal and external education - including teaching students. Released under MIT License - I want them to see my process and surpass me soon!

Why I named my app "Tsubame"? Let me share the story.

Redirected my Factorio hours into building a real app. Same energy - automate everything, fix edge cases, iterate.
One month later: my first SwiftUI app actually works.

Codename: Tsubame - Window Smart Mover 🐦
Named after "tsubame-gaeshi" (燕返し) - the swift, precise movement of a swallow. Like windows jumping between displays.

WindowSmartMover v1.2.3 is out 🎉

Restores your window layout when external displays reconnect. macOS only. MIT License.

After 15 years, I finally built my first macOS app! 🎉
WindowSmartMover remembers where your windows belong across displays. I built it because my layouts kept getting messed up after sleep/wake with external monitors.
