Divvy review
A one-time purchase for precise grid placement, resizing and multi-monitor workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Divvy is a desktop utility from Mizage, LLC for arranging application windows into defined screen areas. It is aimed at Mac and Windows users who want direct control over window placement, especially people who prefer selecting a grid region rather than relying on preset layouts. Activate the Divvy panel, choose an area, and the active window is moved and resized to fit. Its focus is practical: repeatable placement and control over screen space, not a broader desktop productivity suite.
The grid is the defining feature. Users can configure rows and columns, subdivide grid cells for finer placement, and set margins at window and screen edges. Drag-selecting a region offers a direct alternative to keyboard-led placement, while customizable shortcuts support recurring arrangements and a global shortcut opens the Divvy panel. Multi-monitor placement is supported on both listed platforms. This combination suits people who want to tailor a grid to their displays and workflows; those seeking a wider range of window-management approaches may prefer a different tool.
According to the vendor's pricing page, Divvy costs $13.99 as a one-time purchase and includes a free trial. There is no free plan, and the published plan lists the same core grid-resizing and shortcut features rather than multiple paid tiers. The trial gives prospective buyers a way to assess the workflow before purchasing, but its duration is not specified. Choose Divvy if configurable grids, shortcuts, and multi-monitor placement match how you organize windows on macOS or Windows. Look elsewhere if you need a free ongoing option or do not want a grid-centered workflow.
