API

Similar to Rectangle, Rectangle Pro actions can be programmatically triggered using a URL API. The following examples show usage via open -g, demonstrable in the Terminal.

For options that already exist, like left half:

open -g "rectangle-pro://execute-action?name=left-half"

There are two available pin mode actions:

open -g "rectangle-pro://execute-action?name=pin"
open -g "rectangle-pro://execute-action?name=reflow-pin"

For Layouts you’ve created, use the names you gave them

open -g "rectangle-pro://execute-layout?name=Layout1"

For custom shortcuts you’ve created, also use the names you gave them

open -g "rectangle-pro://execute-custom?name=custom1"
