Thank you! I used to have a solution but after getting a new Mac I could never remember what it was called (a problem when an app just works and needs no interaction. You never need to know what it's called after you first install it!)

This doesn’t actually answer the question.

  Still useful though!

  No, but this is a question to Apple, can anyone even answer it? If they were an Apple employee, and it was upcoming in a new release they couldn't talk about it? The best possible outcome is you get an ex-Apple engineer who may have some background as to the thought process.

I started with rectangle but now prefer moom. https://manytricks.com/moom/ https://manytricks.com/moom/ It integrates in the way I would expect the native feature to work: hover the green button for a snapping palette.

  Rectangle integrates the way I expect window snapping to work: with easy and sensible keyboard shortcuts. They keys are much easier to aim than the tiny green circle on the corner. I'm not saying moom doesn't have those, I just haven't used it and Rectangle serves my purposes perfectly well. To each their own, of course. Just trading anectodes. :)

    FWIW Moom does also support keybinds too, including for custom sizing. I have binds for left/middle/right third and left/right two-thirds.

      I imagined it did. Just didn't want to assume as I never used it. :)

I use Spectacle but it’s not being maintained any more. Thanks for the suggestion.

  When you install Rectangle, it has an option to mimic Spectacle’s keyboard shortcuts (if I recall correctly) which I thought was a really thoughtful touch.

There are a few apps that do this but Rectangle is the best IMO. It is also customizable via the terminal.

I use tiles ( https://www.sempliva.com/tiles/ https://www.sempliva.com/tiles/ ). I don't know the difference, but apparently when i setup my computer i found that solution.

  Rectangle.app is open source but Not sure about tiles.app

+1 for amethyst, it's a window tileing tool.

I've been looking for an alternative to Divvy because I've wanted more features, I'll give this a shot. Thanks!

Rectangle Pro is also totally worth it. The mouse control is super handy.
