I’m not sure about its stability yet, as I’ve seen a few odd minor glitches after installing this, but can’t say that its tied to BetterSnap. The drop zones work & are reasonably unobtrusive, still there’s a tiny bit more work to do there.

Other apps have done this, Cinch for example, & may have been the basis of a similar feature MS put into into Windows 7.īetterSnap is worth a try & its worth a buck or two to the developer for a job well done, even if you conclude its not for you at the end of it all. You can set those drop zones up for only certain apps, so that they aren’t getting in your way when another application is active. You can indicate configurable drop zones, small hotspots on your desktop into which you drag open windows & BetterSnap places them exactly where you want them & what size. Out of the box, there are several useful default choices, but you can customize your own. I tried it though I own others that do very close to this.įor a decent price, you are getting features for which other similar apps charge extra. There are several good apps like this out there & this is possibly the best, or one of the best available to date. It really needs to do this, as otherwise it can be confusing as to why the app does nothing.įor $2 this app is an absolute no-brainer - it does far more than many apps that cost 5 times that price! The only bad thing I found in BST is that it does not automatically remind the user to add it to Security & Privacy -> Accessibility.

So in total you have 6 different actions that can be assigned, which is very useful. I particularly like the ability to override the window title buttons (red/yellow/green) - a feature I have seen only in BST and Flexiglass, and BST does it far better: with a long list of possible actions that can be assigned to either the right mouse button or middle mouse button, on any of the three buttons. The new Snap Area feature is also very clever and useful. I also really like the popup menu that can be put on a shortcut, meaning you can get access to all the window snapping options without assigning every one to a shortcut.

The basic window snapping functionality works perfectly, with a great range of configurable shortcuts. I have also tried Spectacle, which is free, and that is a good tool - but BST just does a lot more. Previously I used Flexiglass, which costs $10 and does far less than BetterSnapTool (BST). Not only that, it is also one of the cheapest! It requires a computer running macOS Big Sur and later and, of course, a trackpad.

I have tried just about every window management/window snap tool available, and this is one of the very best. Now Mac Os X users can have FTP access portably no matter where.
