Looks a little like ShiftIt (a similar utility) http://code.google.com/p/shiftit/ http://code.google.com/p/shiftit/

  You want to use the github fork which is still being developed.

    Thanks for the notice. I get the auto updates and hadn't noticed I was on 1.5 and the google code page stops at 1.2

One of Divvy's coolest features is you can build preset window positions and attach them to keyboard chords. So for me, cmd-shift-space brings up divvy then hitting 1 makes the app fill the window, 2 is upper left 2/3 of the screen, 3 is upper right 2/3 of the screen, etc -- I have 7 or 8 presets. Full keyboard control of window position is awesome. It's the best $13 I've ever spent. retailmenot also claims a $20% code, so that will knock some money off. But I happily paid retail and I use it 100 times a day. It's also particularly helpful if you use an external monitor at your desk and regularly resize windows as you attach or detach the monitor.

Yeah, over the years Mac OS has increasingly offered functionality that was once a separate utility to install, MacDivvy is one of the few utilities left I install separately.
