Espresso Zone

Snap your windows. Keep your Mac awake.

A native macOS menu-bar app that combines FancyZones-style window snapping with a Caffeine-style keep-awake toggle. Hold a key, drag a window, drop it into a zone — and never let your screen sleep mid-task.

Features

Your windows,
exactly where you want them

Espresso Zone lives in your menu bar and stays out of the way until you need it.

🪟

Drag-to-Snap Zones

Hold a modifier key and drag any window — a Liquid Glass overlay shows the zones, and your window snaps into place on release.

🍱

Custom Layouts

Five presets including a Bento Box, plus a visual editor with edge-magnetism and overlap prevention to build your own.

🖥️

Per-Display Memory

Assign a different layout to each monitor. Espresso Zone remembers them by hardware ID, even after you unplug and reconnect.

Keep Awake

A Caffeine-style toggle prevents display and system sleep — indefinitely or on a timer — with the cup icon filling when active.

Liquid Glass Design

Built for macOS 26 with native Liquid Glass materials, concentric corners, and a warm, purposeful use of tint.

🔒

Private & Local

No network, no tracking, no accounts. Everything stays on your Mac. Uses only the public Accessibility API — no private hacks.
