There are a number of apps in the App Store with the same functionality as Snapp (Better Snap Tool, [0], [1]), but afaik none of them are free or open source.

I wonder why Apple doesn't simply implement the same window snapping as Windows and most Linuxes - it has pretty much become a standard UI metaphor.
Instead, they built Split View, which I think isn't very intuitive.

Hey Alex, thanks for trying Snapp!
> I noticed that it doesn't want to maximize the window when I have an external display set up to be stacked above my laptop display.
Do I understand correctly that you are trying to maximize the window on your laptop display? If so, I just tried this myself: the mouse has to be dragged into the topmost row of pixels of the display, which is not very practical if the mouse can move further up onto your external display...
Maybe it would be better if the window was maximized when the mouse is dragged into the upper half of the menubar, not just the topmost row of pixels?
