SNAPPED APP FOR MAC WINDOWS
Allows you to resize windows with keyboard shortcuts. It allows you to "divvy up" your screen into snappable areas. It works on a grid system and has the ability to remember layoutsĭivvy ($14). Worked well in El Capitan, however it's no longer maintained and was crashing in Catalina, though it may have also had a compatibility issue with Think or Swim. I couldn't use it because it conflicted with Think or Swim trading platform. I've tested various other window managers that didn't work for me, but you might get better mileage out of them It costs $3, but (IMO) it is well worth it. I can even assign shortcuts so that I can snap my open windows to the preset monitor and size. I recently started using BetterSnapTool that allowed me to create custom snap areas anywhere on my desktops (multiple monitors). Personally, I've found macOS' window snapping feature a bit light on functionality. Hover over the green button and you'll get a popup allowing you to select "Full Screen," "Tile Left," and "Tile Right." To do that, you would click and hold the green button.Ĭatalina uses the "hover" method. There's no "translucent box" in Catalina, that was for previous versions of macOS. Is there some setting I have to have enabled? No matter what I do, I cannot get this to happen. The window will now automatically snap into position. Once a translucent box appears, release the mouse button. All you have to do is click and drag any open window to one of the four sides or four corners of your display. Finally, you can drag a window to the bottom of your screen to make the window fill the center of your screen.Įntering snap mode is very straightforward. Or you can drag an app against the top of your screen to fill the screen with that window. You can also drag an app to any corner to make the window fill a quarter of the screen. If you push the app against the right or left side of your screen, the window will fill up that half of the screen. When you see a transparent box fill that side of the screen, release the mouse, and the window will resize itself. I keep reading about a window snapping feature in Catalina but I cannot for the life of me get it to work.Īll you have to do is drag an app to one side of the screen.
