bluesnooze VS Rectangle

I do not like that a lot of background apps I run (some of which, because of the shortcomings of the OS; like Rectangle, Al Dente and BlueSnooze) show up in the menu bar.

I had the same problem and I solved it by installing Bluesnooze, which is a tool that disables Bluetooth when the device goes to sleep.

I hate that this isn't configurable by default, but bluesnooze solved this for me: https://github.com/odlp/bluesnooze

I have the same issue. Sometimes the feature works, sometimes it doesn't. A workaround I've found is to install a free app called Bluesnooze, which turns off the Mac's bluetooth when it sleeps and starts it again when it wakes. You would have to reconnect the headphones each time you wake your Mac, though.

Behold, Bluesnooze: https://github.com/odlp/bluesnooze

I'd add BlueSnooze into the mix.

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.

Why would you pay for magnet when you can use rectangle, which is the same but open source? https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle
