Magnet 4+

I had no idea an app like this existed, had it not been for be buying and Ultrawide monitor I do not think I would have ever found it. I am so glad I found it. I now use it for my 15" Macbook Pro as I'm so fed up of pushing windows around the tiny 15" screen and trying to use the Apple version which is limiting or annoying. The addition of short keys to make things easier helps too.
As someone elese has pointed out in a review called Best of Both worlds, Windows 10 has something simlar, I did not know that. Not having used windows 10 that much, this would be a massive bonus too, when I do use it. Yey
I used to use an app called Total finder and Spaces from Binary Age but ever since Mojave they have been having catch up programming problems, Now big sur is here just being able to install it is impossible. So I needed to find an alternative and this simple but super effective app helps bridge that gap.

Windows 10 users who move to a Mac will enjoy the Apple ’snap’ that precisely position one window next to another; but miss Microsoft’s paradigm of dragging a window to the edge of the screen and having it snap to the left, right, top or bottom. With Magnet you’ll get the best of both world - and more. As well using halves of the screen (and quarters) Magnet also divide the screen into three full height, side-by-side full height slots of equal width and have a window occupy one third or two-thirds of the screen. You’ll be able to drag windows to the left, right, top and bottom. When dragging to the left or right Magnet chooses to snap the window to have the window occupy one half of the screen (rather than one-third or two-thirds) but all the configurations are available with shortcut keys or (and I like this bit) there’s a drop-down icon on the top menu bar providing all the options.

In summary, it’s difficult to see how this product might be improved, and it’s the best 99 pence I’ve ever spent.

I really love this app, it comes in handy all the time when working on a few documents at once, airdropping, dragging and dropping files in general etc. At the moment I’m doing a course and I have to watch a video online and follow the instructions on another programme so the split screen works great!
The only problem I have with the app is I don’t comphrehend the shortcut keys, I have tried to do them with no luck as they are similar keys for each position. I also tried to make new shortcuts in preferences but it would just say ‘type new shortcut’ and beep when I pressed on any keys and say ‘record new shortcut’.. same thing when pressing the keys and the only option available is cancel. There must be another way to do it but I haven’t found that too simple so I just continue to click on it.
Cheers Magnet for making my work easier :)
