BetterSnapTool

By Andreas Hegenberg

Open the Mac App Store to buy and download apps.

Description

BetterSnapTool allows you to easily manage your window positions and sizes by either dragging them to one of the screen's corners or to the top, left or right side of the screen. This enables you to easily maximize your windows, position them side by side or even resize them to quarters of the screen.

If you need even more than those standard snap areas, BetterSnapTool now allows you to create your own, custom snap areas anywhere on your display.

To be even more productive you can also set custom keyboard shortcuts in order to move and resize your windows.

Because there are so many positions available, BetterSnapTool can also pop up an overview menu from which you can select the one position you want.

You can also customize what happens after right-clicking on one of the buttons on the top left of a window.

More features included are:
• move or resize the window below the cursor while holding customizable modifier keys.
• select what happens when double-clicking a windows titlebar

BetterSnapTool is very customizable and will change the way you work with your Mac!

It supports multiple monitors, hidden docks etc..
You can change the design of the preview overlays and even set application specific snapping sizes!

BetterSnapTool works with almost every application, only some apps with non-standard windows can't be supported.

I'm always open for new ideas, so don't hesitate and ask!

• Added missing "two thirds" option (scroll down in the keyboard tab)

Saves me a lot of time

I have a 27” iMac. There is a lot of screen real estate. This app makes short work of moving apps to just the right spot on the screen. I often have 3 or 4 apps open and it is a joy to just pull that app to a certain part of the screen and boom it resizes and lives there until I close it or move it somewhere else. Great! Great! Great! Productivity app.

Not much to say works great

Simple and easy to use with plenty of options.
Just wish it had ‘Move to next monitor’ in both directions right now you can just keep moving something to the right and it will wrap around.

Best tool of it's kind

This is a great tool at an affordable price.

I've tried other tools and switched to this one - it supports both mouse and keyboard triggers and has been rock solid for years.
Well worth it.
