Ex-Magnet user here, try Rectangle. It's faster than Magnet, doesn't cause weird bugs, free, open source AND has more features.

It's the whole package.

These were all a bit limited for me. I've settled on yabai[1] (window manager) and SKHD[2] (hotkeys), cannot recommend it enough. [0] https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai [1] https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd

I've never understood why Apple doesn't make the features Rectangle offers native to macOS. Snapping windows shouldn't require a third-party app, but yet here we are.

Nice, thanks! I’ve been using SizeUp for a few years but it has an annoying nagware pop up. I’ll definitely look into rectangle
