  • The Biggest Missing Feature of MacOS

    By __Tobey__ (Pcmac user)

    Being a long time Mac user that also does a considerable amount of work in Windows, it was blatantly obvious how much of a handicap not having snaps was for Mac OS. I began to despise working on my Mac anytime I needed to do any kind of multi-software tasks and really don’t like the the Spaces/Mission Control feature that separates applications into different windows. The this app has been the perfect solution for incorporating Windows-like snaps into Mac OS and has many additional features that really make it nice for customizing the location(s) off application windows. It does not have the same multi-step snapping features that Windows Snaps have (e.g. you can’t hold a modifier and hit the arrow kyes twice to have a window occupy two differnt spaces like you can in Windows). However, I have not found this to be a limitation at all. You simply set various window positions to unique key combinations of modifiers for each position on the screen. Once you train your fingers, the integration is completely seamless. Overall, this is the single best app I have ever purchased for actually improving productivity in MacOS.
  • Surprisingly Helpful

    By AcuWeb (Pcmac user)

    The developer has an instructional video showing how to use this app. Very helpful. It took less than two mintues for me to understand it, using the video. Once implementing a couple of drop zones that trigger a window layout, I quickly discovered that this tool saves a lot of time and energy. Less time manually resizing and coordinating finder and app windows is required as a result of this app. No software conflicts either. I also implemented an “extra” feature that comes included. I set up double clicking on the title bar to move the selected window to a specific area with a specific size. This gets me out of trouble when certain apps don’t play well with Mac Os and don’t properly switch out of full screen mode or won’t resize between screens easily. It’s also a quick way to get things out of the way. I make use of all trackpad gestures, and in any ways, this makes Mac Os a breeze. However, the addition of this app adds another level of convenience and organization. Impressive and convenient. Very happy with the purchase.
  • Ex-Windows User? Buy this. Tried Magnet, Like BetterSnapTool More

    By .....iK (Pcmac user)

    The Short Version: Tried several MacOS windows management tools and like this app the best. The Long Version: Having been a die-hard Windows user for decades, a Win10 crash, unrecoverable backup image and resulting lost data tipped the scales for me and shortly thereafter I bought my first MacBook. Although there are aspects of MS Win which I still like - like native windows snapping - I am delighted to have discovered what all the fuss is about over Apple and it’s products. However, I found the native support for window control in MacOS VERY irritating…until I discovered this app. Actually, I believe this app is the first Mac app I purchased and have used it for years. I like the customizable features, keystroke shortcuts, intuitive and seamless function which makes using OS windows a delight now. A few months back I saw that Magnet had promotional pricing, so I bought it to see how well it worked. It is similar in function but was glitchy in some aspects. For example, when it came to snapping windows full-screen, for some reason Magnet would signal the MacOS Mission Control feature. So annoying! Tried to figure it out in Settings, but gave up, uninstalled, then reconfigured this app to be my windows manager again. If you’re familiar with MS Windows and are looking for better MacOS windows management and control, get this app and don’t look back!!
  • Much better than macOS window docking and split implementation

    By ACGarland (Pcmac user)

    Without this app, I’d be very frustrated—having come from long-time use of Windows. This is one feature which Windows handles so much better than macOS: in a far more intuitive way and isn’t constantly forcing you to reach for the mouse or trackpad. And this app brings all that ease-of-use (and more) to the macOS environment. Even though macOS has support for snapping/docking windows and split-view, the implementation is quite lame: 1) no easy way to do it from the keyboard; 2) doesn’t work AT ALL unless you have thing set for each display to be treated as a separate space. (What?! I’ve got three displays and use 5 spaces and you want me to try to track 15 separate spaces just so I can reasonably snap and split views? No thanks: I prefer 5 spaces, each with the complete set of displays.) Anyway, this app doesn’t suffer from those shortcomings. One of my most-used apps since switching to the Mac.
