Steps

On a macOS Native monitor, press Opt+Down. Messy windows snap into a grid and BetterStage toasts Windows arranged.

Press Opt+Down again, or use Snap Wheel → More Actions → Re-stack, to cascade them. The menu bar label switches between Retile Windows and Re-stack Windows.

In TabStack the same key is Even Out Panes — a different action.
