Custom Window Size and Position in Rectangle Pro for Mac

I use the Rectangle app to organize windows on my Mac. Most of the time, the default sizes and positions work great. There’s one case where I need a custom position and size - I like to record 1080p video screen captures.

Here’s how you make a custom window size and position in Rectangle Pro. Note that this option doesn’t exist in the free version of Rectangle–it’s a pro feature.

Select the Rectangle icon in the Menu Bar, then select Settings
Select Custom Size and Position on the left
Click the plus button then New Shortcut
Specify the Name, Position, Dimensions and other parameters
Click Record Shortcut to assign a keyboard shortcut
Click Done and close the window

Now press your keyboard combination to resize the current window.
