No Dock icon, no main window. Click the mark to see every action with its shortcut.

How Kleave moves windows

Kleave moves a window by running one small shortcut, Kleave Window Mover, in the Shortcuts app. It passes along which app is in front and the window's position and size, and nothing else. It reads no window contents, records no keystrokes, and makes no network connections.

Step 1
Launch Kleave

A setup window appears. Kleave does nothing until its two steps are done.

Step 2
Allow and add

Click Allow…, then Add Shortcut…. macOS and the Shortcuts app each ask you to confirm.

Step 3
Done

Your keyboard shortcuts work right away, no relaunch. Turn it off at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation.
