Coming from Windows I have gotten extremely used to the Windows Snap feature, which resizes a window when it's dragged to the screen edges.

However, it's not built into OS X. Are there any 3rd party utilities that add this functionality?


For window arranging:

  • SizeUp $13
  • Divvy $14
  • Breeze $8
  • ShiftIt Free
  • Mercury Mover $20
  • Optimal Layout $14
  • Cinch $7
  • Moom $10

Spectacle was mentioned in a question that was marked as duplicate of this one, but has not yet appeared here. It is also open source:

  • Spectacle at Github

Also, OS X El Capitan (OS X 10.11) will have a side-to-side snap feature when it is released later in 2015 using Mission Control.
