What's new in Shoji

Last updated: October 6, 2026

Every release, newest first. Shoji checks for updates on its own and installs them in one click.

1.0.2 · October 6, 2026

Editor tips moved into the toolbar, as keycaps that change with what you’re doing (drawing, or a selected zone). They no longer cover zone names.

A welcome checklist on first launch: activate, allow Accessibility, draw your first layout, try it. It ticks itself off, and you can reopen it from the menu bar (Getting Started…).
Japanese.
Snap to grid in the editor (12 × 8, on by default), with a faint grid while you draw.
Quick starts for an empty layout: Halves, Thirds, and Center + sides.
One “Space between windows” setting for every layout and for edge snap.
Simpler settings: license, permission, activation key, startup, updates and data are now one General section.
A simpler, larger editor toolbar. Undo, redo and duplicate stay on the keyboard (⌘Z, ⇧⌘Z, ⌘D).

First public release.

Zones you draw on each monitor. Hold the activation key (fn by default) while you drag a window, let go over a zone, and the window fills it.
Each monitor keeps its own layouts, and they come back when you plug that monitor in again.
Optional edge snap on the outer edges of your screens, never on the border between two.
A window goes back to its previous size when you drag it out of its zone.
One license per Mac, activated with the key from your purchase email.
Automatic updates.
Apple silicon and Intel, macOS 15 or later. English and Spanish.
