I love small focused apps that do one thing, and do it well. Here are a few that I discovered recently that come in handy when working on multiple monitors. ## CatchMouse

Ever lose track of your mouse when working on multiple monitors? That happens to me a lot. CatchMouse is a free app that solves that problem very simply, but effectively. With a user-defined keyboard shortcut, it centers your mouse in the screen and zooms it. You can set up a separate shortcut for each monitor, which not only helps you locate your mouse, but moves it to the screen where you're working. Bonus! ## SizeUp

It helps to have a utility for moving and resizing windows, especially when working with multiple monitors. I was using Cinch to resize my windows, until I discovered it had a more powerful big brother. SizeUp lets you resize windows, _and_ move them between monitors, all from the keyboard, using customizable keyboard shortcuts. ## MenuPop

There are several utilities that copy the menu bar to each screen, but I didn't love any of them. MenuPop takes a more minimalist approach, giving you a context-menu popup of the menu bar items, activated with a user-defined keyboard shortcut.
