Rectangle

Lacks shortcuts, takes much longer to get windows sized and placed where you want, lack of usability leads to people just having windows strewn about. I lived on MacOS with the default window management system for a while and actually didn’t care until I got a windows machine for work and used theirs extensively. When I came back to my Mac, I was surprised something similar wasn’t the default and decided to download Rectangle. It’s incredible and just lets me do what I need to do faster.

yabai

Try yabai it basically turns Mac OS into a Linux WM similar to I3 or Bspwm. It makes Mac OS bareable to use as all Unix tools and dotfiles work on Mac OS. https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai.

True story. Window management and window switching are the two most inconvenient things in macOS that bother me. (the third one is buggy Finder). That is why I use Hookshot and AltTab apps to fix it. Too bad it's impossible to fix Finder by ourselves.

Mizage Divvy

I’ve used Divvy for ~7 yrs and always liked being able to resize based on the tile setup they use. Made a global shortcut of Cmd+Shift+D and it does what I need.

Some of the best solutions for window management are Swish and BetterTouchTool. Keyboard Maestro is also excellent for keyboard and general automation.
