BetterSnapTool For Mac

BetterSnapTool is a handy macOS application that provides support for managing window positions and sizes on your screen. BetterSnapTool comes with both simple and advanced features.

One of the basic functions it brings is the ability to resize windows by dragging them to one of the screen's edges (as you would in Windows 7 by default).

For instance, you can use the app to just place a window on the whole left (or right) part of the screen. Or you can resize a window to fit only in a quarter of the screen by dragging it to one of the desktop's corners.

The more advanced features include the ability to create custom snap areas to which you can drag a window in order to place it on a predefined area on your screen with custom dimensions.

Snap areas can be customized in various ways. You can modify its size, color, text, assign a global hotkey to it or even a specific application.

BetterSnapTool is a great tool if you want to compare two documents or images, work with multiple applications at the same time, etc.

BetterSnapTool enables you to set specific dimensions for the current application window (via the menu bar item). You can thus specify which size you want a window to have when dragging it to the left or right edge, and to the left or right corners.

You can also exclude a specific application from being affected by BetterSnapTool from the status bar menu.

BetterSnapTool provides even more window position / size options (from the menu item), such as: top left quarter, bottom left quarter, left third, right third, move to next monitor and more.

Each snap option can be toggled from the Preferences window. Moreover, you can change the appearance of the preview overlay and disable the app while holding a special key.

From the preferences, you can also specify global keyboard shortcuts for each action to resize / reposition a window.
