BetterSnapTool

BetterSnapTool is a popular and highly-rated window management utility for macOS that brings the powerful window-snapping functionality (similar to what is found in Windows) to the Mac operating system.

It is developed by folivora.AI GmbH, the same developer behind the more advanced BetterTouchTool.

Key Features

BetterSnapTool significantly enhances your workflow and productivity on macOS by allowing you to easily organize your windows:

1. Window Snapping: You can instantly resize and position windows by dragging them to the screen's edges or corners.

   • Drag to Edges: Snapping a window to the top, left, or right edge usually maximizes it or resizes it to occupy half the screen.

   • Drag to Corners: Snapping to a corner usually resizes the window to take up a quarter of the screen.

2. Custom Snap Areas: You can define your own custom snap areas anywhere on your display, allowing you to set unique sizes (e.g., one-third, two-thirds, or specific pixel dimensions) and positions for windows.

3. Keyboard Shortcuts: Full control to assign custom keyboard shortcuts to trigger any of the snap areas or specific window positions.

4. Multi-Monitor Support: Works seamlessly across multiple monitors and displays.

5. Window Button Customization: You can assign custom actions to the standard red, yellow, and green window buttons (e.g., right-clicking the green button can snap the window to a specific custom layout).

6. Modifier Key Actions: Allows you to move or resize the window below the cursor by holding down a customizable modifier key (like Control or Option), without needing to click and drag the title bar.
