In just one drag you snap any window into left, right, top and bottom halves and into all four quarters of your screen.

Access all features and preferences through menu bar icon sitting right at the top of your screen to be on hand any time you need it.

Pretty good...
Like some other reviewers, I was using the free version of Cinch for a while. I decided to buy it, but found Window Magnet and purchased it instead. Yes, WM does perform some things that Cinch does not, but to tell you the truth, I really liked Cinch for how fast it snapped windows into place (and that's the whole point of this software, right?). There's a bit of a lag in WM between when you drag a screen to the side and when it actually resizes correctly. Cinch performs this simple task almost instantly. If WM could fix this lag, I'd give it 5 stars. As it is, if you're only need is to snap windows on the sides or full-screen, Cinch might be a better option.
Awesome!
I was looking at Cinch and WM. Seems like WM did way more at a much better price. Still haven't tried Cinch but based on what I saw from their screenshots, I can't see it being near as good as WM. Thinking1 said something about the windows not snapping into place very fast. I bought it anyways and don't know what he's talking about. I have zero lag and I love the ability to snap into corners, which Windows 7 snap doesn't even have! Love this program! I understand it may not be compatible with Adobe products, but I don't see the need for it to. Also, most adobe programs work off multiple windows and I just don't see how that could be useful. Maybe that's just me though.
Extremely useful app
I'm a law student, and constantly have to take notes on readings from online or make outlines from my notes in class. I switched over to Mac this past summer from Windows 7, and the ability to snap windows to a half screen was sorely missed. I got so tired of either flipping back and forth between Word documents and the internet, and trying to arrange the windows on the screen was such a pain. I'm loving this app, no glitches so far! It's also great for apps that haven't gotten the fullscreen feature in Lion to take up the whole screen without having to drag every corner.
