Is there a Mac equivalent for window snapping? [duplicate]

In Windows, you can use the Win key + arrows to snap windows to half the screen. Is there a OSX equivalent?

I found a program that does this called HyperDock. It worked well, but it was just a trial version. It has more features than I care about and costs to much (IMO).

Are there any other programs that are free or cheaper that do the same thing?

Solution 1:

Since macOS El Capitan there is native support for arranging windows side by side. This answer provides a lot more information on how to use the feature, and how to make it work with the keyboard.

If you want more customisation, and depending on your technical inclination, you might want to try Spectacle, or install something like Mjolnir / HammerSpoon

Solution 2:

BetterTouchTool (blog.boastr.net) does just this. I find it very convenient to use with a trackpad: by tapping in different parts of the trackpad I can snap windows to the corresponding region of the screen, one of the most useful features of BetterTouchTool (but it has many many more, check it out!)

Edit: BetterTouchTool is no longer free
