## Minimum Window Sizes of Mac Apps 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. I use the following thresholds: * <= 250 = TINY * > 250 and <= 400 = SMALL * > 400 and <= 500 = MEDIUM * > 500 <= 800 = LARGE * > 800 = HUGE ### Browsers * Arc: MEDIUM, 470px * Firefox: SMALL, 250px * Google Chrome: MEDIUM, 500px * Lagrange: MEDIUM, 425px * Qutebrowser: TINY, 135px * Safari: LARGE, 575px ### Calendars and Contacts * Calendar: LARGE, 639px * Cardhop: SMALL, 350px * Contacts: MEDIUM, 498px * Fantastical: MEDIUM, 500px;
