Mizage Divvy

I am a big fan of Divvy (https://mizage.com/divvy/)—while both dated and paid, it has a wonderful feature of a visual tile map you can use. In all other cases I know, there are a bunch of shortcuts to make a window upper-top or something. But in many cases, it is not enough, as I need fine-grain control.

Lasso - Window Manager for macOS

Divvy thankfully still works without issue and I love it, but when Apple drops Intel support via Rosetta it's going to be a sad day. https://thelasso.app gets close, and adds more features (or visual clutter, imo), but still doesn't feel as quick and efficient to use when setting positions for multiple windows quickly. Divvy can be configured to stay open, and because it's always centered on each monitor, for some reason I can find it better than Lasso that opens where the mouse currently is.

Swish

Swish is the one that solved this problem for me. Feels similar to Loop and Penc, but is primarily trackpad-driven, but also customizable with modifier keys for additional functions. I wish it had more updates, but at least its core features have worked reliably. You don't even press the keyboard to start, but you position the mouse over the window's titlebar and just use two-finger swipes. The website's homepage does a better job demonstrating it under a minute. https://highlyopinionated.co/swish/.

Stay for OS X

Oh yes, I forgot how much of a pain that is. It’s so frustrating. I’ve been using this for the last couple of years and forgot it was even an issue: https://cordlessdog.com/stay/.
