  Move and resize windows on macOS with keyboard shortcuts and snap areas

macOS has very little Window Management options. You can split-view fullscreen apps in their own space (unlike windows), you can also hold option down and click Window up in the menu bar to move a window to the left or right side of the screen. You can also use Stage Manager released with macOS Ventura. If you want classical Windows window management, you’ll need to download a 3rd party app such as Rectangle or Magnet
