Before I answer that question, let me ask you this question, first.  Do you ever wish that you could restore the position and the size of an application window?  That&#8217;d be quite difficult to achieve if the application is sandboxed.  And that&#8217;s Grabbo&#8217;s main feature.  Grabbo lets you save the properties of a window you select.  And you can apply saved properties to the topmost window owned by the same application.  Additionally, you can save a screenshot of the window you select to your disk with or without a shadow around it. &nbsp; <!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table width=\"422\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" bordercolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<tr>\n<td>\n<table width=\"420\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td>Available at Mac App Store<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table width=\"420\" border=\"0\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\" valign=\"middle\">\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"macappstore:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/id989612671\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mac\/mac_shareware\/available-on-mac-app-store.jpg\" alt=\"Mac App Store\" width=\"160\" height=\"48\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<u>Features<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Save window properties.
