I see you found SizeUp. That's also my application of choice. But it doesn't look like you did a lot of research into the available choices, or at least didn't bother listing them. Here's but a handful, for others who are interested:
ShiftIt: https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt
TileWindows: http://www.carsten-mielke.com/tilewindows.html http://www.carsten-mielke.com/tilewindows.html
Mercury Mover: http://www.heliumfoot.com/mercurymover/ http://www.heliumfoot.com/mercurymover/
... Or if you like mouse control of window placement:
MondoMouse: http://www.atomicbird.com/mondomouse http://www.atomicbird.com/mondomouse
Zooom/2: http://coderage-software.com/zooom/index_green/index.html http://coderage-software.com/zooom/index_green/index.html
Cinch: http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/cinch/ http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/cinch/
... Or if you like a bit of both keyboard and mouse:
Optimal Layout: http://most-advantageous.com/optimal-layout/ http://most-advantageous.com/optimal-layout/
Arrange: http://www.trifle.pl/arrange.html http://www.trifle.pl/arrange.html
Divvy: http://mizage.com/divvy/ http://mizage.com/divvy/
BetterTouchTool and BetterSnapTool: http://blog.boastr.net/ http://blog.boastr.net/
Flexiglass: http://www.nulana.com/flexiglass http://www.nulana.com/flexiglass
Moom: http://manytricks.com/moom/ http://manytricks.com/moom/
And throwing this one in to just show that it can get exotic:
http://infinite-labs.net/afloat/ http://infinite-labs.net/afloat/
.... I could go on. OS X does not lack for people who disagree with Apple's idea of window management. There's lots of tools out there, if you just look for them :)
- lloeki 14y agoYou're missing Window Magnet (fits in the "both" case)

- aaronblohowiak 14y agoi use and like ShiftIt
- zmmz 14y agoI will also add that with many of these "window managers" you get the terribly annoying behaviour of one window's shadow disturbing the content of its neighbours. Just yesterday I found ShadowKiller[1] that removes window shadows for all OSX windows, making it feel even more like a true tiling window manager.

- flou 14y agoI just recently discovered Spectacle and it's really awesome. It's open source and free, doesn't take up a lot of memory. http://spectacleapp.com/ http://spectacleapp.com/ https://github.com/eczarny/spectacle https://github.com/eczarny/spectacle
- technosmurf 14y agoShiftIt is great because it's an open source version of many of the other app suggestions you list! The public 1.5 versions on GitHub are missing one important feature: pushing the current window to a second monitor. This is available on the 1.6 branch. I couldn't get it to build with Xcode on OS X Lion, but the author has a very stable 1.6 binary available for download: https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt/issues/72#issuecomment-3727710 https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt/issues/72#issuecomment-3...
