  3. A tiling window manager for macOS
    Until Apple brings better window management to Macs, these third-party tools are the best way to improve organization and productivity. Most of them let you snap windows into position by dragging them to the edge of your display—similar to the window snapping found in Microsoft Windows. But others, like Amethyst, Mosaic, and Moom, offer some interesting alternatives. HazeOver, meanwhile, helps you focus on one window at a time, keeping the distraction of multiple windows hidden away.

  4. Mosaic allows you to effortlessly resize and re-position windows on your Mac with a simple Drag & Drop, seamlessly integrated into macOS.
    While many window managers require you to drag windows to the edge of your screen, Mosaic does things differently. When you start dragging a window, Mosaic will automatically show you a selection of layouts at the top of your screen. Simply choose one, and the window will change size accordingly.

    Move your mouse over the green zoom button in any window, and Moom's mouse control overlay will appear (as seen in the above animation).
    Although it’s the default way of controlling Moom, you can operate this Mac window organizer in other ways too. Head into Moom’s settings, and you can set up keyboard shortcuts, as well as drag and drop.
