I am a big fan of rectangle[0] for bringing windows style windows management to macOS. Gives you a set of shortcuts you can use to put windows where you want them on the screen. It is crazy to me that this is not standard on macs.

Switched to Rectangle from Spectacle[1] few weeks back after discovering it on HackerNews.

Rectangle is a fork of the now unmaintained Spectacle. I was using Spectacle for as very long time.

I've been using BetterSnapTool for years: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/bettersnaptool/id417375580

It's super cheap, and on top of the regular shortcuts, you can create custom shortcuts with their own specific positions, and it saves them per screen. I currently have a dozen of custom shortcuts, which is super handy for an ultrawide 38 inch screen.


FWIW, most (all?) of BetterSnapTool's functionality is included with BetterTouchTool. BTT is an amazing utility... worth every penny.


This looks like Magnet but in open source. Nice!
