Magnet supports up to six external displays in different orientations, including vertical orientation. You can get Magnet from the App Store for a $7.99 one-time fee, which is pretty reasonable, especially if you miss Windows 11's Snap feature.

BetterSnapTool

10 Oct 2017 . BetterSnapTool allows you to easily manage your window positions and sizes by either dragging them to one of the screen's corners or to the top, left or right side of the screen.

BetterSnapTool is one of the oldest and closest alternatives to Magnet for a fraction of the price. You can simply drag and drop windows to snap them to the corner or side by side. Moreover, you can customize these snapping areas and window sizes to match your requirements.

VEEER

A lightweight window manager for your OSX.

However, Veer has limited window management options compared to other apps. You can only snap windows in 12 different variations with the provided shortcuts. Moreover, the options in the macOS menu bar only show the shortcuts greyed out, and you can't select them either. You can only access them by pressing the key combination, which is Control + Command, by default.

Swish

Insanely great window management
Pricing:
- Open Source
Furthermore, it is the only tool in macOS that aligns and divides windows using a pixel-perfect grid. Swish automatically detects multi-monitor setups (both vertical and horizontal) and lets you swap multiple windows within them with a single flick. They're very similar to Mac's trackpad gestures, so you won't be able to tell much difference.

Moom Landing Page

Moom

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).

Moom lets you resize your window differently. Instead of putting everything in the menu bar, the window management options reside inside the green button. To view those different arrangements, you'll have to press the Option key while hovering your mouse over the green button.
