Divvy lets you easily resize windows to a grid pattern. There may be similar free utilities but I found that it was worth the $14.

If you are interested in binary objects/executables, check out MachOView. Think of it as an excellent GUI version of nm/readelf (for MachO, obviously) with search.

People at work use SizeUp, which is free and beautiful: https://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/

I use Slate, which is free and powerful: https://github.com/jigish/slate

I second Divvy. I felt silly spending $14 on something that should be packaged into OSX, but it's a feature you need regardless

I tried them in the past and the custom key bindings never worked. This was a dealbreaker for me. Did they ever fix this?

I've never had an issue using number keys for the shortcuts.

I tried divvy but was already using Moom and find Moom to be a little simpler and more intuitive.

It's here: http://manytricks.com/moom/ And costs $10.

For window management, BetterTouchTool lets you do Win7 style window snapping.

I like Cinch for this... It doesn't give you the grid option, but side-by-side is all I need... And it's only $7.
