I don’t see anything indicating whether I can resize the grid overlay to show more or fewer icons. Is it resizable beyond the example of full screen with the default number of icons? Can I see five columns of eight icons per row, for example? I have way too many open apps for such a small grid layout to be efficient managing my apps.

Looks pretty clean. Nice job with that aspect.

Hey!

Following up on our conversation from a few days ago. You asked about resizing the grid to show more or fewer items, and I'm happy to announce that this feature is now live in the latest version (v1.35)!

While Macscope is open, you can now use

Command + Plus (⌘+) and Command + Minus (⌘-) to dynamically increase or decrease the size of the previews. This allows you to shrink them down to see many more windows at once—which should be a big help for managing the large number of apps you mentioned—or make them larger for a more detailed view.

Thanks again for the excellent feedback; it directly helped shape this update.

Hope you get a chance to try it out!

Hey there!

Thanks for the kind words on the design!

Right now, the grid layout and preview size is kind of fixed. But you're right that there isn't an option to manually configure it to a specific layout like "five columns of eight icons."

Making the preview size or the grid customisable is definitely on the roadmap. I've already been playing around with options during development, and it will likely come in a future version :)
