> This only works on Mac OS

This is an AppleScript app that automatically resizes the active window to various 16:9 aspect ratios. This is useful for automatically resizing an app window before a screencast or screen share.

## Usage

1. Download the app zip file [here](https://github.com/megaconfidence/auto-resize-window/raw/main/downloads/Auto%20Resize%20Window.zip)

1. Extract the app from the zip file

1. Move the app to your `Applications` folder

1. Open up Spotlight (`cmd+spacebar`) and type in `Auto Resize Window`

1. Hit enter

1. Select a resolution and profit

## Important ⚠️

You will need to give this application access to `System Events` and `Finder` on the first run. On macOs Ventura (13.1) and higher, go to `System Settings` > `Privacy & Security` > `Security` then allow _Auto Resize Window_ to run

You can always take a look at the source code [here](src/scrpt.scpt) to be sure this program is not malicious.
