I've written a script for this to snap windows just like windows (consider it a free cinch & sizeup replacement).

- Drag to the left or right to cover that half of the screen. - Drag to the top for maximise - Drag to a corner for corner snap - Control + Option + Arrow to snap to left or right of screen, maximise or center - Control + Option + Command + Arrow to snap to corner of screen

I went from cinch+sizeup to spectacle to hammerspoon.

Spectacle just didn't have the window options and wasn't being actively developed to add the options that everyone was asking for.

It's the oldest issue (3 years) on the project:

Don't think shiftit supports mouse snapping


I was a big spectacle user on 10.8, for some reason I ended up migrating to Magnet (in the app store) on 10.11.

Use it nonstop all day to snap stuff half-screen right/left/up/down, no to mention (finally!) full screen.

Intrigued by Hammerspoon.


I use this window snapper for Mac. Very polished and costs a dollar in the app store: http://magnet.crowdcafe.com/


Another option is Slate, scriptable with JS


I think Slate isn't maintained anymore.


It doesn't seem like it, but it's still pretty nice! Window hints is my favorite feature.
