1## Minimum Window Sizes of Mac Apps
2
3I use tiled window managers, and some layouts work better with smaller windows, but not all mac apps can do that so this is a collection of minimum window sizes of different apps to help me find which ones are better suited for my workflow.
4
5I use the following thresholds:
6
7* <= 250 = TINY
8* > 250 and <= 400 = SMALL
9* > 400 and <= 500 = MEDIUM
10* > 500 <= 800 = LARGE
11* > 800 = HUGE
