Every time you multitask with many apps open, you need all the windows arranged accordingly. Magnet makes this process swift and easy.
In one drag to the edge of your display, you size any app into half of the screen. And by dragging its windows to corners, you snap them into quarters. Sliding on the bottom edge creates thirds, or even sixths on ultra-wide monitors. Taking advantage of such arrangements eliminates app switching and greatly enhances workspace efficiency.
All commands can be triggered via keyboard shortcuts as well – there is a Magnet icon in the menu bar where you can find a predefined set of hotkeys or create one that fits your habits.

Features 🎚 Flexible form. You can turn on/off field and save as default setting. 🏗 Drag & drop for reordering items. This makes editing easier. 📐 Use SVGs for logo for better printing. 🎨 Custom designed & highly customizable templates. 🏷 Custom statuses for invoices. 📊 Export PDF for print or email. 🔒Complete Privacy. You financial data stays where it belongs. 💯 Totally Free.
Why The main reason I decided to build this is because I need a simple tool to create good looking invoices, estimates, and receipts but couldn't find one that suits my needs. I don't do invoicing for a living but I do need it occasionally so an ideal invoicing app just needs to be good at one thing and one thing only, which is making invoices. I really don't need a full-fledged bookkeeping or accounting software.
I believe there are many people such as freelance designers, developers, photographers or writers... also have such need. However, most (if not all) products I found have these these problems:
Complexity
Most invoicing products nowadays is web-based, which means you’ll need to maintain a new account (possible a monthly fee, too) just to create an invoice. Sure, there some open-source products that can be self-hosted, but that will introduce a new layer of complexity to your workflow. Who will setup the product? Who will maintain the server? Who will cover the cost? ... You will always need internet connection to be able to create your invoices. It can be slow sometimes. Privacy
When you use a web service, most of the time, you’re giving away your data whether you want it or not. Financial data is sensitive and I believe that no one should know about your data except yourself. Goals With that in mind, I know that Manta would need to satisfy these criteria:
🚀 Fast!!!
👍 Friendly UI & UX
🎉 Has nice looking templates
🔒 Does not touch user’s data
💰 Free! :)
If you think Manta delivers these, let me know by putting a star on this project 😉
Terminal
Homebrew is the easiest and most flexible way to install the UNIX tools Apple didn’t include with macOS. Also available for Linux.
What Does Homebrew Do?
- Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t.
- Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local (on macOS Intel).
- Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like.
- Trivially create your own Homebrew packages.
- It’s all Git and Ruby underneath, so hack away with the knowledge that you can easily revert your modifications and merge upstream updates.
- Homebrew formulae are simple Ruby scripts.
- Homebrew complements macOS (or your Linux system). Install your RubyGems with gem and their dependencies with brew.
- “To install, drag this icon…” no more. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software.
- Making a cask is as simple as creating a formula.
Homebrew-cask provides a friendly homebrew-style CLI workflow for the administration of Mac applications distributed as binaries.
It's implemented as a homebrew external command called cask
Cask requires Homebrew. First install Homebrew if you do not already have it:
$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
To install Cask:
$ brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
