I'm a long-time user of Spectacle [1], but it's no longer maintained. Glad to see what looks to be a good alternative. [1]: https://www.spectacleapp.com/ https

  Same! It still works just fine for me. Not sure why you’d need to switch unless apple kills whatever APIs it’s using

    Apple will kill the APIs. If you haven't switched, Rectangle comes with a Spectacle compatibility mode so all the keyboard shortcuts and behaviors transfer. When I swapped out work machines a couple years ago I cut over and it was painless, fwiw.

    Rectangle dev here, I wrote a post about this a while back [1]. TL;DR The APIs are the same between the two, but there is the potential of a security risk with Spectacle. Something I didn't mention in that post is that Rectangle technically should outperform Spectacle, although it might not be noticeable, as Spectacle loads a JavaScript engine to perform window size/pos calculations while everything in Rectangle is in Swift.
