Best 6 Mac Window Managers
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....

The 6 Best Mac Window Management Tools
If you don't like to drag and drop windows to arrange them all the time, you should try Amethyst. Amethyst has predefined layouts that you can cycle through a keyboard shortcut, which is, by default, Option + Shift + Space bar.

VEEER Reviews

The 6 Best Mac Window Management Tools
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.

  • Switch from Windows
    Moving windows between screens, is there an app or shortcut that I am missing that allows for this? I never knew I used this feature this much on Windows. I already checked out VEEER(https://veeer.io) but it cannot move between monitors. Source: 10 months ago
  • [Serious] I don't get why people like Mac and I feel like I'm missing out
    If you find the native window management lackluster (like I do), you can install a window manager like Amethyst, or yabai, veeer, or many others. Source: 11 months ago
