1 ## Minimum Window Sizes of Mac Apps
2
3 I 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.

7 * <= 250 = TINY
8 * > 250 and <= 400 = SMALL
9 * > 400 and <= 500 = MEDIUM
10 * > 500 <= 800 = LARGE
11 * > 800 = HUGE
