    This is a multi-window manager on macOS. (by Ryan-the-hito)

  • On mac, we have many options respectively for these two steps. For the first one, you can use Alt-Tab, or you may use another one written by me called Oliver (It still has some bugs, but I like it). The main difference is that Oliver can choose multiple windows a time, which is to some extent similar to your description, while Alt-Tab can do only one but goes much faster and natively.

  • Amethyst

    Automatic tiling window manager for macOS à la xmonad.

  • And for the second part, we have Wins to manually drag and set the window position, and Amethyst to set it automatically.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
