later VS RectanglePro-Community

The fourth is Later, a simple and nicely designed app that allows you to close and reopen apps and docs. The project has been abandoned, but the dev has made it open source on GitHub, so the code can be reused.

Its called later

Someone in this subreddit recently mentioned that later was no longer being maintained. It's still working without any problem, so no worries as of right now. That said, I plan for the long term and tend to avoid/ditch apps that have been abandoned as something is bound to break sooner or later. It hasn't been updated in some time, I think.

Are you perhaps thinking about Later?

I've been using https://getlater.app/ to save my workspace so I can come back to it another time, but it looks like the app is no longer being maintained.

there is another app similar called later

How does it compare to https://getlater.app/

https://github.com/alyssaxuu/later - Save all your Mac apps for later with one click - Useful when hiding all windows before presentations/ team calls

There is pro version you can buy if you want to support the dev and get a few extra features.

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.
