Window tiling, scoped to your Space

Scopo now tiles windows into clean split layouts, using a keystroke or a drag. Tilers like Rectangle and Magnet snap windows on whatever screen you're looking at, and Scopo does that too. The difference is that every layout stays with its Space. So if you like to split your work across Spaces, each one keeps its own arrangement, and you never carry one Space's windows into another.

How tiling works in Scopo

1

Split with Option+D

Press Option+D to split the focused window's tile in half. Add Shift to split the other way. Scopo opens a picker so you can choose which window fills the new tile.

2

Or drag the on-hover handle

A small handle fades in above each window. Grab it and drag to slot the window into a tile. It is a deliberate gesture, so a normal title-bar drag never tiles by accident.

3

Pick a window from the live picker

The empty tile shows a picker of every window in your Space, with live thumbnails. Arrow keys move between tiles and flip across the divider; Enter fills the tile.

4

Layouts stay scoped to the Space

Each Space keeps its own independent layout, on every monitor. Switch Spaces and the other Space's tiling is exactly where you left it.

Scopo vs Rectangle vs Magnet

Rectangle and Magnet are excellent at one job: snapping the window in front of you. Scopo adds tiling to a switcher that already understands your Spaces, so snapping and focus live in one tool. For the full head-to-head, see Scopo vs Rectangle and Scopo vs Magnet.

Why “scoped to your Space” matters for tiling

A traditional tiler treats your Mac as one canvas. If you like to split your work across macOS Spaces, that's the wrong unit. With Scopo, the layout you build in one Space stays in that Space, and another keeps its own. On every monitor, everything sits right where you left it. Snapping a window never drags in something from another Space, because Scopo already knows where each Space begins and ends.
