Rectangle and its paid cousin, Hookshot (https://hookshot.app https://hookshot.app) are great. I use Hookshot. They are the best window managers I've used on MacOS, because the resize features work flawlessly every single time. Other ones I've tried (e.g. bettertouchtool) have occasional issues with that. They'd be perfect if they supported full customization of drop zones. They have some limited customization, including via the command line, but it's nothing compared to some of the other apps that are out there.

Hookshot does allow customization of the positions of the window throw (and long throw). You can create a custom shortcuts in the wrench and ruler tab, and then select the custom shortcut from the configure button for the window throw, at the end of the list. I realize this can feel a little hidden in the UI, so I'm planning on making it a little more straightforward in a future release. The custom shortcuts in Hookshot are beyond what I've seen in most apps, especially since you can customize what happens in repeated executions of the custom shortcuts. Let me know what other apps out there have the customization that you are referring to.

  Sorry just saw this. I actually already use keyboard shortcuts for some custom window positions. But I still usually just use the default snap zones because it's hard to remember the shortcuts. BetterTouchTool goes a step further, and lets you customize the drop zones. I.e., if you drop a window on the top left, it snaps to your custom top-left position: https://docs.folivora.ai/docs/104_snap_areas.html https://docs.folivora.ai/docs/104_snap_areas.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtgOseyyJ5U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtgOseyyJ5U Hookshot's performance is great but AFAIK doesn't let you snap windows to custom areas without keyboard shortcuts.
