What is Plonk Window Manager?

Plonk is a menu bar app for macOS that bundles a window manager with nine additional desktop utilities, so one icon replaces a stack of single-purpose tools.

Instead of fixed halves and quarters, you draw your own snap zones per monitor. Windows go into them by dragging, by pressing a zone number, or by voice command. Workspaces save an entire multi-monitor arrangement of apps and restore it later, and focus navigation moves between windows by their actual position on screen rather than by app order.

The rest of the toolbox: on-device OCR to copy text out of screenshots and dialogs that will not let you select it, live screen pinning that floats a crop of one window above everything else, screenshot capture with pen, shape and highlighter annotation, keep-awake power assertions that expire on a timer or when a process finishes, a shortcut guide showing the active app's menu shortcuts, and pointer tools for cursor visibility, click rings, crosshairs and multi-display jumps.

Voice control runs offline using on-device recognition. Plonk also exposes its window management over MCP and a CLI, so coding agents and scripts can arrange the desktop directly.

Requires macOS 13 or later. Free and open source under the MIT license, written in Swift 6 with no third-party dependencies.
