I'll never get over the fact that I had to pay $8 just to have two windows split side-by-side without using the obtuse and intrusive fullscreen mode.

Made an account just to reply. I use https://rectangleapp.com/ https://rectangleapp.com/ on Mac and it's great. I mostly use shortcuts Left Half and Right Half, and also Maximize (Not the fullscreen mode thank God) Might as well recommend enabling moving windows around with by clicking anywhere on the window with a keybind just like in most Linux desktop environments https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/321918/move-window-by-clicking-on-any-part-as-on-linux/365860#365860 https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/321918/move-window...

  I (personally) forked rectangle a few years back to give me thirds of a window, for a 32" display running in 4k@1x. I use (basically) left, middle, right, and top half/bottom half.

    Rectangle supports thirds, "two-thirds", fourths, "three-fourths", and sixths (top/bottom * thirds).

      Must have happened after I made my changes. Would have been roughly 2020, based on when I got the monitor.

        Rectangle had those options before 2020.

  I appreciate that! When I switched to MacOS, I demoed both Rectangle and Magnet and found that, despite being paid software, Magnet offered a much more intuitive experience. I'm happy to pay for software anyway, but after spending $4000 on a computer I expected such basic desktop manager features, which have been common since the 90s, to come with the package. This is not something extensions are supposed to do. This kind of crap is why I ditched GNOME.

$14 for Divvy (from Mizage) is beyond worth it, IME.

Back when I was forced to use a Mac I used BetterTouchTool for this. It's a fantastic tool in general, and the window management is sensible.
