Rectangle makes much more sense to me on Mac than a tiling window manager like yabai. I tried to use it but it just felt kludgy and I went back to Rectangle. Suits my needs just fine.

Rectangle Pro - Price: $15 (one-time purchase) Same as normal Rectangle, with throwing features, more arrangments, workspace setup for windows in any location you want and more.

There is... it's called Rectangle Pro! https://rectangleapp.com/pro

This started when I was unable to have apps appear on the correct monitor and in the correct shape / space. I played with a few window management apps and settled on Rectangle Pro.

Just curious, did you try Rectangle Pro? There are a number of features in it that are influenced by Windows, like mimicking the win+arrow keys, a snap panel that you can drag windows onto, and snap targets that act like fancy zones from Power Toys.

Swish is pretty nice, but Rectangle Pro is the best. The window throw feature in Rectangle Pro is faster and more flexible, and to me it feels more intuitive.

This is what Pro gets you.

FWIW, the functionality here overlaps a bit with some of the functionality that I have in Rectangle Pro.

RectanglePro a fully featured upgrade of the free app. Lots of different ways to configure window management but custom App Layouts is pretty impressive. You setup your app windows as required then you can save the config and reconfigure it with a shortcut. You can also create custom areas similar to BTT which can be activated from a Snap Panel which appear when you drag a window.

Rectangle Pro is their paid app, with is tuned for pros or something like that.

Rectangle’s installation is incredibly straightforward. Its immediate out-of-the-box functionality was a pleasant surprise. For anyone seeking to reduce the friction of window management on their Mac, Rectangle is a solution I wholeheartedly recommend.

Tip: I use Rectangle app to set up keyboard shortcuts to resize windows (I only have three shortcuts there: left/right half of the screen and full screen).

But Raycast also has some functionality in that direction.

Two more little utilities that I cannot live without on Mac:

A tiling window manager like https://rectangleapp.com/

Muzzle, which automatically silences desktop notifs when you're screensharing https://muzzleapp.com/

I suggest using Rectangle instead of Magnet; it has the same features but is free. I don't know what other Windows features you want to have.

I’ve used this app forever. Adds in all the window snapping features.

third-party window management apps like Magnet and Rectangle

Rectangle Mac - Move and resize windows in macOS using keyboard shortcuts or snap areas, similar to Windows.

I was a Spectacle user for years, but I recently switched to using Rectangle for window management. Rectangle has a few more options than Spectacle; I’m still getting used to it but I have no strong feelings either way.
