Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
There is pro version you can buy if you want to support the dev and get a few extra features.
https://rectangleapp.com/pro
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.

Window Management & Snapping
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 the greatest window management app for mac
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.

What's a good window management app similar to PowerToys?
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.
