Moom
By Many Tricks
Open Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
Description
Moom allows you to easily move and zoom windows to predefined areas of the screen, or to make them full-screen, using either the mouse or the keyboard.
When used via the mouse, all you need to do is hover over the green resize button in any Mac OS X window. Moom's panel appears, and you then click the desired action.
When used via the keyboard, a hot key displays the Moom bezel, and you can then use the arrow and modifier keys to move and resize the windows.
You can also save window layouts, create custom controls with shortcuts that work globally or work only when Moom's keyboard bezel is onscreen.
What's New in Version 2.4.1
• Moom should work better with virtual keyboard applications
• Changed how Moom calculates window sizes when moving between displays
• Moom's grid now switches orientation on portrait displays
• Other minor bug fixes and enhancements

The Best in this Class of Window Utility
Ordinarily I cut third party developers some slack because they have a greater challenge to compete and get a product launched and move from their 1.0 versions onward. It's a real challenge to make a terrific app, I'm sure. That's why I go easy. With Moom, I can honestly say there's no reason to give them slack; Moom is the best of class.
I think it's pure genius how it works. It feels like Apple had Moom there all along, or like it came with an update to the OS. Moom is how it ought to be, IMHO. The ability to tool your windows' sizes and position with a mouse is well thought through. So is the keyboard command mode. What's even going the extra mile is the option to control Moom from the Dock Bar, the Menu Bar, or make it a faceless app that works behind the scenes—making it feel all the more like it's a part of the OS and not a third party app that rubs Apple wrong.
And the icing on the cake is the thought put into the developer's helpful tools to help new users learn and use Moom to its fullest potential. The developers have great command directions from their site. They have a basic introductory video that tells you everything you gotta know if you just want the basics. Then, there is an indepth video for Mac power users that want to take advantage of customizing their Moom experiences. All of the helpful resources about Moom from the developer, Many Tricks, are first rate.
At $5 bucks I want to donate more to their company because Moom is the app my Mac has needed since I started using my first Mac in 1993. I'm super thankful for Moom, and I will gladly use it for many years to come. This is as genuinely pleased I can get with an app—truly worth five stars, and worth more than $5 in my book any day.
Better than BetterSnapTool for me
BetterSnapTool's animation seem jittery to me. This app works solidly, and I love the mouse over (+ button) feature to make regions on the fly.
Works as adverticed but...
Moom works as adverticed but I find having to go to the little green maximize button or even using the keyboard short cuts a bit cumbersome. Simple window management should be very very simple and quick to engage. Moom does the special stuff really well but not the simple stuff. I find BetterSnapTool with the quick manage to left, right, top bottom and move to next space to be the tool I use for most of the day, Moom increasgly less for window position tasks.
